L’Afrique au cœur de la transformation souhaitée
Dans ce cadre, Bourita affirmed that the African continent should be at the heart of this transformation, recalling the message addressed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to participants in the 2025 edition of the “Ibrahim Governance Weekend”, in which he highlighted that Africa, despite holding nearly 40 percent of global reserves of raw materials and 30 percent of strategic minerals, should not remain confined to the role of a mere exporter of its natural resources.
