Morocco and Israel signed three transport, shipping, and road safety agreements during Israeli Transport Minister Miri Regev’s visit to Morocco, according to an Israeli Transport Ministry statement. The first agreement will see the two countries recognize drivers’ licenses issued from each country for visitors and residents, which they say will contribute to strengthening business relations and tourism. The two countries also signed a shipping agreement to boost maritime trade and directly connect Israel and Morocco’s seaports, as well as encourage the exchange of knowledge in maritime logistics and ports, and facilitate joint research between the countries. The third and final agreement will establish guidelines for cooperation in the field of transportation by integrating innovative technologies and upgrading data collection in the shipping sector, as well as urban planning and infrastructure.
