Doha – A high-level economic delegation from Spain's Valencia region will visit Tangier on June 2-3, aiming to strengthen bilateral economic and commercial ties with Morocco.
The mission is organized by the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Chamber of Commerce, and Morocco's Consulate General in Valencia.
Led by Marian Cano, Valencia's regional minister for Innovation and Industry, the delegation will include representatives from key sectors, including agri-food, textiles, tourism infrastructure, sports facilities, construction, transportation, and financial services. CaixaBank will be among the financial institutions represented.
In a demonstration of the commitment of Valencia's main economic institutions to structured bilateral cooperation, the heads of the Chambers of Commerce of Valencia, Alicante, Orihuela, and Alcoy will also participate.
The delegation's agenda begins with an opening session on Monday, June 2, at 9:30 a.m. at the headquarters of the Tangier-Tetouan-Al Hoceima Chamber of Commerce.

A visit to Tangier Med port, one of Africa's and the Mediterranean's largest logistics hubs, is also scheduled. This tour aims to showcase the region's infrastructure capabilities and competitive advantages.
This mission comes as economic ties between Rabat and Madrid continue to grow. This week, on May 28, four investment agreements worth MAD 500 million ($50 million) were signed in Rabat between Morocco and Catalan companies.
The agreements were concluded during a meeting between Karim Zidane, Morocco's Minister Delegate for Investment, and a delegation of Catalan businesses led by Josep Sánchez Llibre, president of Foment del Treball, the main employers' confederation in Spain's northeastern autonomous region.
These Catalan investments will create over 700 direct jobs in Tangier, Tetouan, and Kenitra across several sectors, including automotive, waste management, industrial packaging, and construction materials.
Sánchez Llibre announced that Catalan investments will continue flowing to Morocco, with another delegation of about twenty Catalan companies planning to visit within a year.
Their three-day business trip follows the 'Morocco Now' roadshows held in Barcelona in January 2024, in Madrid in April 2025, and Foment's first visit to Morocco in June 2024. Tags: Morocco Spain relationsValencia
