Kazakhstan and Morocco Strengthen Partnership in Urban Development and Culture

Ambassador of Kazakhstan to Morocco Saulekul Sailaukyzy held a meeting with Rabat Mayor Fatiha El Moudni.

The two sides reviewed progress on implementing the 2024-2027 Roadmap between Astana and Rabat, which covers a wide spectrum of areas ranging from trade, economic and environmental collaboration to cultural exchanges.

Discussions touched on urban planning, housing development, green spaces, tourism, and smart city solutions. Both parties underscored the importance of maintaining regular dialogue and arranging mutual visits to share best practices.

A separate topic was dedicated to cooperation in the cultural sphere. The Kazakh diplomat outlined plans for a large-scale Nauryz celebration in Rabat, bringing together representatives from Astana Governorate and Kazakh artists to showcase Kazakh traditions, cuisine, and music to Moroccan audiences.

Fatiha El Moudni praised the growing bilateral relationship and Kazakhstan's reform progress. The Rabat Mayor indicated her intent to visit Astana this year to explore Kazakhstan’s experience and further advance the twin town relationship with the Kazakh capital established in 2023.
