Morocco and Senegal hold talks on economic partnership and business law

Economic operators from Morocco and Senegal are convening in Dakar to discuss strengthening bilateral partnerships. The meeting, organized by the Moroccan Embassy in Senegal in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Dakar, focuses on the legal framework of OHADA (Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa) and the challenges of local content requirements.

The discussions aim to enhance business security and explore opportunities within the context of the ‘Senegal 2050 – National Transformation Agenda’.
