MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Morocco is one of Russia's leading trade and economic partners in Africa and the Arab world.
Morocco would like to create a coal hub in the country with Russia's participation, as the electricity sector in the country runs mostly on coal, and 80% of Moroccan (https://en.sputniknews.africa/20230710/morocco-guinea-reiterate-shared-will-to-make-partnership-model-of-inter-african-cooperation-1060451677.html) coal comes from Russia, Deputy Head of the Russian-Moroccan Business Council Razha Shafik El' Ali said on Tuesday.
"The electricity sector in Morocco today uses 65% coal, and Morocco imports coal from Russia, 80% of Moroccan coal comes from Russia. And in this regard, our partners in Morocco have proposed an interesting scheme, which is the creation of a coal hub in Morocco," El' Ali said at a press conference.
He noted that Morocco's geographical position allows this thanks to the location of Moroccan ports in different water areas.
