Argentina wants to conclude a free trade agreement with Morocco to strengthen trade relations between the two countries, Argentina's Foreign Minister Jorge Faurie said on Friday in Rabat.

In a statement to MAP following a meeting with Secretary of State for Fisheries Mbarka Bouaida, the Argentinean official highlighted Morocco's important potential in the field of fisheries, stressing the need to reinforce cooperation in this sector.

Hailing bilateral relations between Morocco and Argentina, he called for deepening the economic partnership, particularly in the agriculture field, an area in which Argentina has a particular interest.
