This meeting was an opportunity to discuss several topics including energy and ways to further promote the Moroccan-American cooperation in the energy field as well as the Free Trade agreement, Amara told the press.

The two officials also discussed means to expand the prospects of this cooperation toward sub-Saharan countries, given the particular interest shown by HM King Mohammed VI and President Barack Obama toward the continent, he added, noting that Africa suffers from a shortage of equipment in terms of electrification and energy in general.

In a similar statement, the American diplomat said he was "very happy" to be in Morocco, a "longtime friend," deeming as "constructive" the talks with the Moroccan Minister.

This meeting also discussed "the opportunities to work together," Bush said, noting that they also focused on the commitment of His Majesty the King to expanding access to energy.
