Belgium rises its donations to Morocco to 80 million euros

Rabat - Belgium doubled its donations allocated to its Indicative cooperation program with Morocco for the period 2010-2013 to reach 80 million euros, the finance ministry said on Tuesday.

   Belgium's minister for Cooperation and Development, Charles Michel, who held on Tuesday in Rabat a series of meeting with several Moroccan officials, voiced his country's will to contribute to the large-scale projects carried out by Morocco.

    He said his country is keen to reinforce its ties with the North African country in wide-ranging areas, notably agriculture, water and water treatment.

    Michel said that 2,000 scholarships will be awarded to Moroccan students, as part of bilateral partnership.

    A large business delegation headed by Crown Prince of Belgium is currently on a working visit to the kingdom to examine ways to boost economic ties.
