The two parties expressed, through this partnership, their shared conviction of the importance of entrepreneurship and the creation of employment opportunities in the economic and social development of their regions.Â
Within this framework, the two regions aspire to strengthen bilateral cooperation and foster innovation through skilled labor migration.
