(MENAFN) Morocco's minister of Employment and Professional Integration, Mohamed Yatim, met with Yousef Al-Outhaymine, Secretary General of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Jeddah on Wednesday, February 21, reported the state press agency MAP.
Meeting on the sidelines of the fourth session of the Islamic Conference of Labour Ministers of OIC Member States, the two officials discussed ways to reduce unemployment in Islamic countries, especially among young people.
Yatim and Al-Outhaymine also stressed the significance of this fourth session of the Conference of Labour Ministers as an "important stage" for sharing viewing platforms and developing ideas that could help reinforce employment in Islamic countries by encouraging productive sectors.
The two officials gave emphasis to the importance of elaborating upon new proposals aimed at strengthening their bilateral cooperation in this area, through the exchange of visits and the sharing of management expertise regarding the labor market in both countries, in accordance with the memorandum of understanding concluded between the two ministries in March 2016.
The 2016 Moroccan-Saudi memorandum, signed on the sidelines of the activities of the Third Global Forum on Employment Public Policies in Marrakech, aims at improving cooperation and exchange of experiences between the two countries by "providing each party with information on mechanisms for organizing the labor market and the best global practices that are currently applied."
