The two countries, he said, have since expanded cooperation across several sectors, with 11 bilateral instruments signed during the inaugural Kenya-Morocco Joint Commission for Cooperation held in Nairobi in April.

The agreements cover areas including agriculture, justice, health, fisheries and aquaculture, gender equality and women’s empowerment, cultural cooperation, higher education, sports and wildlife, among others.
