Morocco and Australia expressed, on Saturday in Rome, their desire to further strengthen bilateral cooperation in agricultural resilience, a “challenge shared by the two countries”.
On the sidelines of his participation in the 43rd session of the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Minister of Agriculture, Maritime Fisheries, Rural Development, Water and Forests, Mohamed Sadiki, discussed with his Australian counterpart, Murray Watt, ways to strengthen Moroccan-Australian agricultural cooperation, notably through scientific research and training on issues related to the resilience of agriculture.
“We are aiming to accelerate our collaboration on multiple levels, in this case drought adaptation and agricultural resilience,” Sadiki told reporters, noting that “Australia is facing drought, a challenge that Morocco also faces”.
For his part, the Australian Minister has affirmed that the two countries share, despite the distance, common challenges, in particular the sustainability of agri-food systems, expressing its firm desire to deepen bilateral cooperation in this area for the benefit of both parties.
