Moroccan Trade Minister Plans Talk in Michigan's Large Arab-American Community During US Tour
Morocco’s industry and commerce minister plans to talk up investment in his north African nation to business leaders in one of the largest Arab-American communities outside the Middle East.
Ahmed Reda Chami is scheduled to speak Thursday evening to a group of Michigan companies in Dearborn. The dinner is hosted by the American Arab Chamber of Commerce.
The visit comes a week after 20 U.S. business leaders visited Morocco to look at investment opportunities.
Morocco aims to boost its automotive, aerospace, agribusiness and electronics industries. The U.S. and Morocco have a free-trade agreement.
Chami’s 10-day U.S. visit also has included scheduled stops in Chicago, New York, Boston, Seattle and Columbus, Ohio.
