Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie arrived in Rabat, Morocco, on Monday for the start of a three-day economic mission to Morocco and Tunisia. They are accompanying Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy, Etienne Schneider, on the trip, which also includes a 60-person business delegation representing 40 businesses in Luxembourg. These businesses include information and communication technology (ICT) companies, as well as environmental technology services.

The goal of the visit is to explore business opportunities and strengthen economic ties between Luxembourg and these countries. Tomorrow, there will be an economic seminar in Casablanca. The couple will also discuss bilateral economic relations with government officials during the visit.

Upon their arrival in Rabat, the Hereditary Grand Ducal couple was welcomed by members of the Moroccan government, including the Head of Government, Abdelilah Benkirane; the Minister of Economy and Finance, Mohammed Boussaid; the Wali of the Rabat-Salé-Zemmour Zaer (governor of the province of Rabat), Abdelouafi Laftit; the governor of the prefecture of Salé, Mustapha Khedri; and Mayor of Rabat, Fathallah Oualalou; among others.
