TEHRAN (PIN) -- Iranian and Moroccan energy ministers will discuss ways to promote bilateral cooperation in energy, electricity, and related industrial fields.

The decision was made at a meeting between Iran’s Minister of Energy Parviz Fattah and the visiting Moroccan Minister of Energy and Mines, Mohamed Boutaleb.
The bilateral talks are aimed at taking a closer look at the potentialities of the two countries in electricity and energy sectors, the Iranian minister said, according to presstv.com.
“Morocco’s power grid is linked to that of Europe via Spain, and the country has benefited from new energy technology,"" said Fattah, who also showed an interest by Iran to use the experiences gained by Morocco.
Power industry, especially in the generation and distribution sectors, is controlled by the private sector in Morocco, with the government confining itself to the monitoring of transmission lines, the Iranian minister added.
For his part, Boutaleb said that he was carrying a written message from the Moroccan King Mohamed VI to the Iranian president. He said that the message included a proposal by the Moroccan leader to expand ties between the two Muslim countries
