HM King Mohammed VI Arrives in Qatar
Contact: K. Drawi, 240-994-2476

ROCKVILLE, Md., April 29, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Morocco's King Mohammed VI, accompanied by his brother Prince Moulay Rachid, arrived on April 28th, in Doha, coming from the Kingdom of Bahrain, as part of a fraternity and working visit to the State of Qatar.

At his arrival at the Hamad International Airport, HM the King was greeted by the Emir of Qatar, His Highness Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani.

The two heads of states then headed for the "Diwan Emiri" (Emir's office) where they held talks on strengthening joint cooperation in all fields and other issues of mutual interest.

The Moroccan King's visit to Qatar is also part of a tour he is undertaking in several Arab Gulf States, following the first Morocco-GCC summit held in Riyadh, on April 20th.

This summit was an opportunity to seal the strategic partnership biding Morocco and the GCC member States, namely Qatar Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab emirates.

Moroccan-Qatari strategic alliance is not only political but is also characterized by evolving economic and investment relations as evidenced by the participation of several Qatari businessmen and groups, such as Diar Investment Company, in Morocco's development projects, mainly in tourism and real estate.

Trade between the two countries increased significantly from 517 million dirhams in 2010 to 681 million dirhams in 2014, recording an annual increase of 21%, due mainly to Qatar's growing imports of Moroccan products, primarily food products and furniture. Morocco's imports from the Gulf country are mainly made up of aluminum and plastic products.
