CWEIC Gibraltar Visits Morocco to Explore Gibraltar-Morocco & Commonwealth Commercial Links

Our CWEIC Country Director for Gibraltar, Jared Peralta was recently in Casablanca to attend a Gala Dinner for the Centenary celebrations of the British Chamber of Commerce for Morocco, attended by the British Ambassador to Morocco Mr Simon Martin CMG as guest of honour.

Reflecting on his visit, Jared expressed: “It was great to be able to meet with key stakeholders in Morocco and to learn more about the opportunities that exist across a wide range of emerging sectors. Whilst Morocco is not in the Commonwealth, it certainly boasts strong trading links with the UK and several Commonwealth Countries. Given its proximity to Gibraltar and with our links to the UK, Morocco is a natural and exciting market to explore.

Of particular interest, I was keen to explore the opportunity of positioning Gibraltar as a stepping stone for Morocco into the Commonwealth and vice versa.

A special thanks to the Gibraltar Morocco Business Association (GMBA) for arranging the exciting series of meetings and forming the Gibraltar delegation.

I am excited to continue to explore areas of common interest to develop and nurture further alongside our network of CWEIC Strategic Partners from across the Commonwealth.”
