The visit of the head of the government of the Canary Islands was part of the cooperation between the Souss-Massa-Draâ region and the government of the Canary Islands. It concerns the third tranche of projects of the Poctefex2 programme, which includes 18 new projects, the realisation of which requires a budget envelope estimated at 12,828,979.50 euros. Thus, 8 projects relating to land use planning, the promotion of economic exchanges, training, the environment, and renewable energies have been able to see the light of day at the end of the past two years, for an amount of 4 million euros.

At the end of a working session, included in the programme of this visit, held at the headquarters of the Agadir wilaya on April 12, chaired by Mohamed Boussaid, Wali of the region, in the presence of the head of the government of the Canary Islands as well as numerous Moroccan economic operators and actors and their Spanish counterparts.

The work of this session focused on eight ambitious projects relating to sport, tourism, research and innovation, the development of the port sector, and, in a general way, the sustainable development of the city of Agadir. All these projects aim to strengthen institutional dialogue and promote cross-border academic cooperation between the Canary Islands and the Kingdom of Morocco.
