RABAT, Feb. 23 (Xinhua) -- Moroccan Prime Minister Saad Eddine El Othmani and visiting Ghanian Senior Minister Yaw Osafo-Marfo on Friday reaffirmed the two country's strong will to give new impetus to bilateral cooperation.
During the talks, the two officials hailed the good friendship between the two countries, which has been further consolidated since the visit of Morocco's King Mohammed VI to Ghana last year, the Moroccan prime minister's office said in a statement.
They also discussed the means to consolidate bilateral ties in various areas of socio-economic development, mainly through mutual visits and expertise sharing, it added.
