There is no doubt that more strategic agreements will be concluded, as stated by the Moroccan ambassador to India.

With the same determination, we will continue to support the military industries localization programs as one of the major national projects that enjoy our high patronage, and for which we have been keen to provide all the favorable conditions for its success, in accordance with a far-sighted future vision that aims to achieve the desired independence in the defense sector. This will be achieved by establishing a supportive legal framework and providing important incentives for Moroccan and foreign investors and partners to advance this vital project.

Plus US engines and comms
