Morocco's Minister of Industry, Trade and Economic Upgrading Salah Eddine Mezouar said Wednesday (September 20) that trade with the United States has considerably improved, particularly in the Moroccan textiles and clothing sectors, which doubled their exports to the United States during the first five months of this year compared to the year-earlier period. The minister was speaking at a meeting with US representatives in Rabat on consolidating the free trade agreement (FTA).
Morocco is looking to expand its textile markets outside the EU after it was hurt by the body abolishing quotas for Asian textiles in January 2005. (MAP)
