The two Ministers, being very mindful of the importance of regular consultations and exchanges between the two countries at various levels of bilateral relations and international issues of common interest, reaffirmed their adherence to the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter.

This MOU, signed on 19 April 2001, between the Republic of Ghana and the Kingdom of Morocco, led to the signing of five other agreements ( some of which are provisional) in various fields namely, Marine fisheries co-operation, Tourism, Air service agreements, Investment promotion agreements and co-operation in the fields of mining and geology.

This section will be divided into 2 parts.

The first will involve the agreement on co-operation in tourism and the second will be devoted to the air service agreement.

With regards to the agreement on cooperation in tourism, it is an agreement that has actually been signed and under implementation. Several steps have been taken during the last few years all in an attempt to achieve the objectives of this agreement.

Upon entry into force, it shall supersede the air transport agreement of 28th January, 1963 between the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco and the Government of the Republic of Ghana.

However, the agreement of 1963 had not been effective, and for a good number of years there was virtually no direct air transport service between the two countries. However the air transport agreement, even though provisional, has yet been functional since January 2007.
