posted on: Apr 14, 2011

Morocco’s industry and commerce minister plans to talk up investment in his north African nation to business leaders in one of the largest Arab-American communities outside the Middle East.

Ahmed Reda Chami is scheduled to speak Thursday evening to a group of Michigan companies in Dearborn. The dinner is hosted by the American Arab Chamber of Commerce.

The visit comes a week after 20 U.S. business leaders visited Morocco to look at investment opportunities.

Morocco aims to boost its automotive, aerospace, agribusiness and electronics industries. The U.S. and Morocco have a free-trade agreement.

Chami’s 10-day U.S. visit also has included scheduled stops in Chicago, New York, Boston, Seattle and Columbus, Ohio.
