Benkirane stressed that the Moroccan-Mauritanian relations are "strong and long-standing" and that what binds the two peoples is stronger than what divides them.

     He called for overcoming barriers in order to establish the model of cooperation to follow.

     Benkirane pointed out that trade between Morocco and Mauritania remains below historical relations between the two countries, calling for adopting a realistic vision and for uniting in order to jointly cope with constraints.

    Laghdaf, for his part, called on businessmen to double efforts and to take every opportunity to launch win-win investment projects towards giving a strong impetus to economic complementarity.
