Arab relations are witnessing  African In recent years, there has been increasing activity in the areas of investment, trade and sustainable development, which is being promoted by the Human Interconnection Association and the Moroccan-Egyptian Association through the organization of economic and development forums that bring together businessmen, investors and representatives of governmental and civil institutions from various Arab and African countries.

A pivotal role in strengthening Arab-African cooperation

The Human Interconnection Association seeks to build bridges of communication between economic actors in the Arab world and the African continent, through launching initiatives and projects aimed at supporting joint investment, encouraging trade exchange, and opening new markets for entrepreneurs, in addition to focusing on issues of social development and women’s economic empowerment.

The Moroccan-Egyptian Association works to provide platforms for dialogue between investors and economic institutions, which contributes to strengthening cross-border partnerships and achieving sustainable development, especially in the productive, industrial and commercial sectors.

Economic forums have created a wide network of partnerships.

Over the past years, the association and the league have organized a series of Arab-African economic forums that have attracted participants from multiple Arab and African countries.

These events focused on investment opportunities, industrial cooperation, the development of small and medium enterprises, as well as enhancing the role of women in economic development.

These gatherings also contributed to creating direct communication channels between investors, government agencies, and business support institutions, which resulted in building new economic relationships and partnerships in the fields of trade, industry, and services.

The Sixth Arab-African Economic Forum in October

In continuing this approach, the Moroccan-Egyptian Association – the Human Interconnection Association – announced the organization of the Sixth Arab-African Economic Forum for Industry, Trade and Investment during next October under the slogan: “Towards sustainable trade and investment partnerships and empowerment of women’s cross-border projects.”.

The forum targets entrepreneurs, investors, and women's economic empowerment project holders from Arab and African countries, with a focus on attracting investment to the Kingdom of Morocco. A specialized committee will select participating projects, while the Moroccan investment company "Ra'idat Investors" will provide guidance and support to the selected projects and represent them before relevant government agencies.

The forum will also dedicate space to showcasing women's cooperative projects and women's economic empowerment programs to supporting institutions, including Caritas, with the aim of exploring funding and development opportunities, thereby enhancing the role of women in the Arab and African economy and supporting joint development paths between the two sides.
