British parliamentarian Daniel Kawczynski expressed on Thursday in Dakhla that the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region presents significant investment opportunities for British companies.
During his working visit to the Kingdom, Kawczynski voiced his satisfaction with the ongoing cooperation between the UK and Morocco, particularly in the economic sphere. He warmly welcomed the upcoming visit of El Khattat Yanja, President of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab Regional Council, to London in March.
Kawczynski highlighted that Yanja’s visit will serve as a platform to acquaint British companies with the diverse investment prospects offered by the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region across various sectors.
In the realm of politics, Kawczynski expressed his support for a campaign within the British Parliament advocating for the prompt recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara.
Yanja underscored that Kawczynski’s visit provided an opportunity to delve into the development model of the southern provinces and its tangible benefits for the populations of Southern Morocco. He emphasized the region’s myriad economic sectors and investment potentials.
Yanja also outlined the promising outlook for the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab region, especially following the completion of the Dakhla Atlantic port. He highlighted HM King Mohammed VI’s International Initiative aimed at facilitating access for Sahel countries to the Atlantic Ocean, with the goal of unleashing the region’s vast potential and fostering sustainable, inclusive development.
Maimouna Essayed, Chairwoman of the Dakhla-Oued Eddahab Regional Human Rights Commission (CRDH), noted that Kawczynski’s visit provided an opportunity to review the Commission’s diverse missions, particularly its efforts to monitor the human rights situation in the region. Essayed also highlighted CRDH’s collaboration with partner institutions and civil society associations in promoting human rights and monitoring public policies in the region.
