MOROCCO’S AFRICAN ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY: A NEW TOOL OF INFLUENCE

Abstract

The reign of Mohamed VI brought a new impetus to cooperation with African countries through well-planned economic diplomacy. The geopolitics of Africa and regional cartography have allowed Morocco to redefine its regional and continental role. Today, on the African market, Moroccan companies have a strong presence in various sectors: in the construction, telecom, airline, fertilizer, and service industries. This article examines how Morocco manages to apply economic diplomacy to African countries.
