Morocco, Japan discuss means to develop museum cooperation

The president of the National Museum Foundation (FNM), Mehdi Qotbi, held talks with the Japanese ambassador to Morocco, Shinozuka Takashi, which focused on the means to develop museum cooperation between Japan and the Kingdom.

The two sides discussed the possibility of organizing exhibitions in Morocco and Japan, support for the digitization of museum devices and future celebrations between the two countries, the FNM said Monday in a press release.

Discussions also touched on the project to build a center for initiation and training in museum trades, the release read.

The two countries enjoy strong relations in several fields as reflected by a long history of friendship between the two reigning families and a common history, Takashi pointed out on this occasion.

These talks take place in the context of exchanges undertaken over the past months with the ambassadors of countries accredited to Rabat, according to the same source.
