From June 22 to 26, 2026, the Kingdom of Morocco will play host to a landmark Economic Promotion Week, where the spotlight will fall on forging stronger, more impactful economic development partnerships between Morocco and member states of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS). The entire initiative was conceptualized and executed by the Moroccan Agency for International Cooperation (AMCI), bringing together official delegations from six OECS member states, represented through the collective Eastern Caribbean Embassies based in Morocco. The OECS Commission stepped in as a core partner for the event, tasked with aggregating the key development priorities of participating nations and backing collective regional projects designed to deliver measurable, tangible benefits to communities across the OECS bloc. Six Eastern Caribbean nations participated in the week-long program: Antigua and Barbuda, the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. Delegations were composed of senior officials and stakeholders from across public and private sectors, including leadership from national investment promotion agencies, trade and economic development ministries, and national chambers of commerce. Notable participating entities included the Antigua and Barbuda Investment Authority, Invest Dominica Authority, Grenada Investment Development Corporation, Nevis Investment Promotion Agency, Invest St Lucia, Invest SVG, the Ministry of International Trade and Ministry of Economic Development and Investment of St Kitts and Nevis, the Private Sector Unit of St Vincent and the Grenadines, the Grenada Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and the St Lucia Chamber of Commerce. Delegations were further reinforced by representatives from the OECS Commission, the OECS Business Council, and diplomatic staff from the Eastern Caribbean Embassies accredited to Morocco. His Excellency Ian Queeley, Ambassador and Head of Mission of the Eastern Caribbean Embassies to Morocco, emphasized that the week of engagement has reinforced the foundational nature of the OECS-Morocco relationship, noting it is rooted in both long-standing diplomatic friendship and aligned ambitions for sustainable economic growth, innovative development, expanded investment, and strengthened South-South cooperation. “Through productive dialogue and meaningful exchanges, we have showcased the immense opportunities that exist between our regions and laid the foundation for stronger commercial partnerships,” Queeley stated. He added that the OECS remains fully committed to deepening economic diplomacy by connecting Eastern Caribbean entrepreneurs, investors, and institutional stakeholders with strategic Moroccan partners, and expressed optimism that the momentum built during the event will translate into concrete results that create new employment, expand bilateral and cross-regional trade, and drive inclusive prosperity for people across both the Eastern Caribbean and Morocco. Throughout the five-day program, participating OECS delegates held a full schedule of engagements with a broad cross-section of Moroccan public sector agencies and private sector institutions. Conversations centered on unlocking new opportunities for investment, expanded trade, and collaborative joint projects across a range of sectors identified as mutually beneficial, including agriculture and agro-processing, food security, renewable energy development, fisheries management, the blue economy, international financial services, port infrastructure development, maritime trade, improved air connectivity, and tourism. Three priority areas received particular focus during discussions: strengthening climate and economic resilience in the agricultural sector, advancing development of geothermal and solar energy projects, and improving tourism and economic connectivity between the Caribbean region and the African continent. Engagements with Moroccan private sector groups and financial institutions also explored pathways to deepen bilateral banking ties, expand direct business-to-business collaboration, and assess the feasibility of establishing a permanent OECS-Morocco Business Council to sustain long-term engagement. Delegates also reviewed investment opportunities available through Casablanca Finance City and explored avenues for Moroccan investors to enter priority sectors across OECS member states. The delegation held formal meetings with a host of leading Moroccan institutions, including AMCI itself, the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), the Moroccan Agency for Sustainable Energy (MASEN), the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Moroccan Agency for the Development of Investments and Exports (AMDIE), Casablanca Finance City, the Professional Group of Banks of Morocco (GPBM), OCP Africa (Nutri Crops), the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises (CGEM), the Regional Council of Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab, the Regional Investment Centre, and the Port of Dakhla. A site visit to the southern Moroccan city of Dakhla gave delegates unique, first-hand insight into Morocco’s ambitious regional development strategy, as well as the transformative potential of the Dakhla Atlantic Port to expand and support growing transatlantic trade routes. During discussions related to the port, participants also highlighted the strategic geographic positioning of OECS member states in the Caribbean and identified opportunities to advance joint port development and expanded maritime cooperation between the two regions. The Eastern Caribbean Embassies in Morocco welcomed the high level of engagement from Moroccan institutional partners and the active participation of OECS delegates across all scheduled activities. Following the conclusion of the program, participants departed with enhanced knowledge of market opportunities in Morocco, renewed energy to advance follow-up engagements with relevant Moroccan agencies, and clear plans to move forward with the practical collaborative initiatives identified during the week’s discussions.
