Rabat — Morocco and Niger appear to be taking bold steps towards securing strong cooperation in the transportation sector. Morocco's Transport and Logistics Minister Abdessamad Kayouh held talks today with Niger's Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Colonel-Major Abdourahamane Amadou. The meeting focused on expanding bilateral cooperation in transport and logistics, exploring cooperation opportunities in railway, air, and road transport sectors. Both parties recalled the North African country's accumulated experience in these strategic areas. Following the meeting, Kayouh expressed Morocco's commitment to establishing a 'win-win' partnership with Niger in transport. He outlined areas including training, expertise transfer, and technical support. The Moroccan minister showcased his country's experience in road safety, railway network development, and airport infrastructure modernization. He stressed Morocco's dedication to sharing its expertise with Niger, particularly through advanced technical training programs for Nigerien students. Kayouh also recalled the Atlantic Initiative launched by King Mohammed VI, which aims to connect Sahel countries, including Niger, to the Atlantic coast. The initiative is set to help these landlocked nations access sea routes and boost their commercial, industrial, and agricultural exchanges. The Nigerien minister, who leads a significant delegation on a working visit to Morocco, expressed his admiration for Morocco's transport sector achievements. He said his visit aims to learn from Morocco's best practices in governance, regulation, and infrastructure development. Amadou shared his country's desire to benefit from Moroccan expertise in creating a national airline, developing railway networks, and strengthening road safety. He explained that Niger wants to build an integrated and efficient transport network to overcome challenges related to being landlocked. The Nigerien official also praised Morocco's consistent support for Niger's development and expressed his country's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations through active African solidarity and sustainable partnership. The meeting represents another step in Morocco's growing engagement with African partners, particularly in sharing technical expertise and infrastructure development knowledge with fellow African nations.
