The General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises is expected to send a delegation of businessmen to Israel on a Royal Air Maroc flight that will inaugurate direct flights between Casablanca and Tel Aviv on March 13.
The three-day visit is part of a series of trips between the two parties to sign agreements and strengthen bilateral economic cooperation.
Israel's Economy Minister Orna Barbivai had visited Morocco earlier this year.
The Moroccan delegation will be led by Chakib Laalej, President of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, i24NEWS reported.
The visit was originally set for December, but the outbreak of the omicron coronavirus variant led to its postponement.
Royal Air Maroc's first flight to Israel was set for Dec. 12, 2021, but it was postponed for the same reason. It has since been rescheduled to March 13.
Royal Air Maroc said it will operate four flights a week between Casablanca and Tel Aviv and will then expand them to five.
Morocco's delegation is expected to explore investment opportunities in Israel.
It will sign cooperation agreements and establish partnerships between the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises and its Israeli counterpart in several fields.
Morocco is home to the largest Jewish community in North Africa, with around 3,000 people. Around 700,000 Jews of Moroccan descent reside in Israel.
