Honorary Consulate of Kazakhstan opens in Marrakech

Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Morocco Saulekul Sailaukyzy attended the official opening ceremony of the Honorary Consulate of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Marrakech.

Marrakech's local executive authorities, members of the Parliament of Morocco, representatives of international organizations, government agencies and national companies, as well as the business communities of the two countries, including representatives of the chambers of commerce and industry and the businesswomen's associations of Kazakhstan and Morocco took part at the event.

S.Sailaukyzy emphasized that the institution of honorary consuls remains one of the most practical instruments of diplomacy, since it is people who have long been part of the business and public life of a particular city who are able to turn broad agreements into decisions on the ground. Whether by supporting business, assisting tourists, or resolving emerging issues without delay. She noted that Marrakech had not been chosen by accident, as the city remains Morocco's leading tourism and business destination. Ambassador recalled that the visa-free regime introduced last year has already contributed to a marked increase in travel between the citizens of the two countries.

The newly appointed Honorary Consul of Kazakhstan in Marrakech, Younes Essassi expressed gratitude for the trust placed in him and stated his readiness to help strengthen cooperation between the two countries in trade, investment and business exchanges.

The Honorary Consulate of Kazakhstan in Marrakech is the second in the Kingdom of Morocco, following the consulate operating in Casablanca.

The day before, Casablanca hosted the first meeting of the Kazakhstan - Morocco Business Council in the history of bilateral relations, while a series of meetings on agriculture, industry, trade and investment took place in Rabat.
