Mr. Graue Wiechers pointed out that this cooperation also involved collaboration in the production of 42 publications between 2016 and 2021, in addition to an increase in academic production, particularly in the fields of renewable energy, agriculture, biology, life and earth sciences and technologies.
He added that the Autonomous University of Mexico is currently working with more than 16 higher education institutions in Morocco, in addition to about 14 other academic institutions with a view to establishing partnerships in the coming years.
For his part, Mr. Lebbar stressed the importance of multiplying initiatives to further develop Moroccan-Mexican relations, notably through the revitalization of academic cooperation.
“The development of our cooperation with this prestigious university is likely to promote distinguished relations between the two countries to raise them to the expected level,” he said.
HM the King’s ambassador indicated that the president of the Mexican University, in support of these efforts, has proposed the signing of a number of agreements between Mexican institutes and universities and their Moroccan counterparts.
The two parties also discussed, during this meeting, the possibilities of establishing a partnership between the Mexican National Autonomous University, one of the largest and most prestigious in Latin America, and the University of Al -Qarawiyyin in Morocco, the first university in the world.
