The opening of the new consulate is part of a plan to improve consular services for the Moroccan community in the North American city, the FM said on Friday.

Speaking at a press conference in Rabat following discussions with Canadian Foreign minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, Mr. Bourita stated that the aim is to better interact with the Canadian authorities and to promote bilateral cooperation and exchange.

The new cooperation also hopes to support Moroccan and Canadian companies in doing business in Canada, Morocco, and across Africa.
