Defense industry in Morocco: big ambitions for 2024

Morocco has made qualitative leaps this year in the field of defense industry, declared Abdelatif Loudiyi, Minister Delegate in charge of National Defense, recalling the kingdom’s objective of reducing its imports of arms and ammunition.

For several years, Morocco has diversified its suppliers of weapons and military equipment in order to fully meet the needs of the Royal Armed Forces. From a perspective of empowerment, the kingdom has adopted a strategy aimed at promoting direct investments in the military industry sector and promoting the transfer of technologies for the benefit of national actors, affirmed Loudiyi during the examination of the National Defense annex budget to the House of Representatives.
