In a different context, the foreign officials expressed their deep condolences following the earthquake that struck several regions of the Kingdom on September 8, expressing their solidarity and support for Morocco in overcoming the outcome of this natural disaster.
The officials also praised the multidimensional approach adopted by the Moroccan authorities, under the Enlightened Leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to mitigate the impact of the earthquake.
The WB-IMF Annual Meetings, which returned to African soil 50 years after they were held in Kenya, are attended by the world’s economic and financial gotha, who are examining major issues relating to financing policies, economic growth, and climate change.
