In accordance with the high instructions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, which emphasize the importance of supporting and accompanying the projects and initiatives of Moroccan talents abroad, we were delighted to organize a meeting dedicated to the Moroccan community in the United States of America. This event took place alongside our promotional tour for the Moroccan investment offer.
The objective of this initiative was to directly engage with Moroccans worldwide, addressing their questions about the investment opportunities available in their homeland and the incentives introduced by the new investment charter.
The Moroccan Agency for Investment and Export Development is fully committed to supporting and ensuring the success of investment projects by Moroccans abroad.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended and to all those who shared their testimonies. Your participation and insights are invaluable to us.

Tout le plaisir est pour ma definition des rapport humains et de la joie comme mon prénom l’indique de vous offrir un tel raccourci autour du Monde des Affaires et des Cultures Humaines Régionales, qui n’est en fait que le bout de l’Atlas – The Peak of the Atlas Mountain – the Place of the Birth of my Own Ancestors. The best is still to come.

Mon écrit ci-dessous est un témoignage professionnel “personnalisé” véhiculant une dedication multiplicatrice s’adaptant à la variété des références opérationnelles et répondant à la diversité des opportunités et de l’environnement humain dans lequel s’est traduit et s’est imbibé des conditions locales des affaires [Business] et les pratiques régionales et nationales de la culture relationnelle prédominante.

Ainsi, mes rôles et fonctions d’office étaient plus et s’englobaient davantage de la seule et simple profession honorable d’un acteur ou de metteur en scène mais embrassent des allures réalistes et surréalistes de portée globale tout en s’identifiant dans le panorama des étendues d’affaires territoriales de la Californie et des Etats Unis d’Amérique – Designed in California and Made in USA and presented by Said Cherkaoui Ph.D..

Alors que la scène et la trame internationales sur laquelle je continues jusqu’à ce jour mes mises en scéne et performances demeurent directes, spontanées, dérivées et conduites par mon profond désir d’étaler des fondations de rapprochement et des ponts de communications entre les contrées lointaines, les entités voisines et les organisations distantes ainsi que les individus de divers horizons similaires et non identiques.

I contributed lot to the San Francisco World Trade Center and the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce et cela pour des decennies tant a San Francisco qu’a Oakland en Californie, avec mon travail et mes réalisations sur le plan international durant la période ou j’ai été dans le CITD et que depuis lors je continues a voguer par dela les horizons du Pacifique et autres rivages en ce temps proche dans la conjugaison et distant dans l’expression.

Pour conclure en beauté et joindre l’utile a l’agréable, je vais ajouter plus de sel ou d’épices à mes recettes internationales mijotées en Anglais mais façonnées a la Jacques (sans aucun) Pépin et Paul Bocuse (pas du Vaucluse) et oû vous pouvez aussi goûter la saveur du Sénégal (Rahma wa Ghofrane} comme des autres régions du reste de l’Afrique et cela selon votre choix en premier a travers et dans le contenu de ce lien qui pourra aussi vous donner plus d’appétit pour la lecture de mes autres publications adjacentes, correspondantes et complémentaires dans la mise en scène d’une mémoire constructive et d’un présent rénovateur pour des solutions intelligentes adaptables aux défis et courantes, aux exigences prospectives et aux risques potentiels, tel est le destin de mon labeur et de mon apport dans cette destinée commune d’existence.

N’hésitez pas de partager avec moi vos impressions, remarques, initiatives et opportunités de collaboration transatlantique comme transafricaine.

Bien a vous avec mes souhaits de réussite.

Votre Présence a rendu cet événement unique en esprit, amplifiant la connaissance et le sentiment propre:

Ce passage est le témoignage de notre reconnaissance et notre testament de votre apport dans la conjugaison de notre personnalité marocaine au fin fond de l’Amérique Techo-Impassible.

Le Fils de Sefrou, la Ville Zénète Amazigh de Naissance de mes Ancêtres Maternels Ait Youssi, Ahmed Sefrioui avec Le Chapelet d’Ambre et Les Deux Fils de Fortaleza Mazagao – Mazagan – Mahdouma – El Jadida ma Ville Euro-Africaine Natale et de la croissance adolescente littéraire en Langue Française, Driss Chraïbi – Le Passé Simple et mon Cousin Abdelkebir Khatibi – La Mémoire Tatouée étaient tous avec moi dans le sentiment de renaissance et de croyance dans ces moments de notre partage d’une émotion commune identifiée dans la redécouverte de nos sources locales et de nos cultures régionales d’inspiration nationale et d’expression résidentielle “diasporaine” véhiculant des sentiments ancrés et enracinés dans le même espace de croyance, le même terroir d’effervescence familial et le même environnement culturel hybride, tous bridés dans le sillage du vécu de notre propre destin comme étranger noctambule universel.

Ce passage est le témoignage de notre reconnaissance et notre testament de votre apport dans la conjugaison de notre personnalité marocaine au fin fond de l’Amérique Techo-Impassible.

NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR TRADE – CASABLANCA – MOROCCO

1993-1994 – Event for the Promotion of Export and International Trade Between California and the Rest of the World that have Shaped my Memories and Destiny

In California, it All Started in 1993 at the East Bay Small Business Development Center, at Green Breurner’s Building, the Former Largest Department Furniture Store at the 7th Floor with Ms. Selma Taylor as the Executive Director and Dr. Said El Mansour Cherkaoui as the Business Consultant

The Breuner Building at 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California became the site of the John Breuner Furniture Company in 1931.  The art deco terra cotta masterpiece was designed by prominent local architect Albert Roller. 

Historical landmark columnist Annalee Allen called the Breuner Building “an eight-story reinforced concrete building with a distinctive variegated sea-green glazed terra cotta front facade, constructed in 1931 to house the John Breuner Furniture Company store. Other noteworthy features of the building include Art Deco motifs, and a pair of stylized figures crafting a chair located over the front entrance.”

The Oakland store was closed in the 1970’s and sold by the company where, following renovation, the historic building reopened as an office building in the late 1970’s.

The California Genealogical Society moved into the former Breuner Building in March 2007. As of 2012, the appearance of Ikea furniture, large yoga balls for sitting, and a flyer on the door indicating an entrance on the side heralded the move-in of a startup on the ground floor of the building – Spark Art.

Location: 2201 Broadway, Oakland, California

AFRIQUE – USA – AFRICA and Said El Mansour Cherkaoui

International Conference on Africa, I initiated and organized with the EBCITD (East Bay Center for International Trade Development) Oakland, California.

So to combine the useful with the pleasant, I published all these photos with first that of Africa over my shoulders. This photo dates from 2001, the year I suggested and participated in the organization of the First International Conference on Africa held in Northern California at Berkeley. Another will follow later in San Francisco in 2007.

I complete this first photo with others such as the one where the former CEO of the African Development Bank (Dr. Babacar Ndiang) was holding my hand and I am surrounded by African-American executives, one during one of my presentations and others showing a partial view of the audience.

Conférence Internationale sur l’Afrique a Claremont Hotel, Berkeley, California, USA

Since my early studies at Institut des Etudes Politiques of the Grenoble University, France, the development and integration of Africa were at the forefront of my studies and topics of my presentations in seminaries and essay papers. It was natural that I continue to work and increase the awareness about Africa and its need of establishing new kinds of relations with other countries other than the past metropolitan and colonialists.

Here below among other pictures, there is a photo taken in the company with the Regretted Dr. Babacar Ndiaye, former CEO of the African Development Bank Group who hold firmly my hand and is standing at my left side.

I extended the invitation to Dr. Boubacar N’diaye for his presence among us at this International Conference on Africa.  He was delighted about my presentation and we also sat together and had lunch at the same table.  Wonderful Man with full love for Africa and Africans and who initiated a series of important financial and operational measures: the African Businessmen Round Table, the creation of the African Bank for import-export (Afreximbank) and the setting up of a special easy financing for the African private sector (investors and entrepreneurs) without the guarantee of their governments.

On my right hand is Dr. Faheem Director of the Center for International Trade Development, on the other left side and holding my hand is Dr. Boubacar N’diaye, Chairman of the African Development Bank from 1985 to 1995 and honorary chairman of the same institution (Rest in Peace among the Blessed ones, Ameen)

I was the Director of Graduate Business Programs at Dominican University of San Rafael, when Dr. Cherkaoui was teaching in our international MBA program. Said brought not only a solid academic background to the classroom, but also a wealth of business experience both in the US and in Asia and Latin America.

AfCFTA🌍 African Continental Free Trade Area:

TRI Executive Leadership Development Program for Success Entrepreneurial thinking, innovation, and new technologies are powering startups and creating business opportunities for savvy entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, and investors. 

Economic integration in Africa is a strategy to increase the continent’s economic integration by creating a single market for goods and services. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a strategic framework that started trading in January 2021.  African countries are working together to address common challenges and harness their shared strengths to realize the continent’s potential market of 1.2 billion people. The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a strategic framework that creates a single market of goods and services for deeper economic integration on the African continent. To make this ambitious project a success, coordination will be needed at the local, national, regional and continental levels.

Supporting African multilateralism: Gradual implementation of the AfCFTA

🌍 Bringing Africa to the forefront of the International scene with consideration on the authentic development of the African communities in Africa and around the world. Bringing together 54 signatory states among the continent’s 55, the AfCFTA aims to create the world’s largest free trade zone, representing a market of 1.3 billion consumers.

US-Africa Bilateral Agreements – Bilateral investment treaties (BIT)

A bilateral investment treaty (BIT) is an agreement concluded between two States which defines the broad terms and conditions under which private and companies invest in each others territories. The United States has concluded a number of BITs with various countries, including African countries. The stated basic aims of this BIT program includes the following key objectives:

• to protect investment abroad especially in countries where investor rights are not already protected through existing agreements
• to encourage the adoption of market-oriented domestic policies which treat private investments in an open, transparent and non-discriminatory way
• to support the development of international law standars that are consisten with these objectives

The United States has concluded BITs with various African countries, inter alia with Rwanda, Mozambique, Republic of Congo, Congo DRC and Cameroon.

Trade and Investment Framework Agreements (TIFA)

Trade and Investment Framework Agreements (TIFA) provide strategic frameworks and principles for dialogue on trade and investment issues between the United States and the other parties to the TIFA. These agreements generally go beyond the BIT model. TIFAs have been concluded with a number of African partner countries, inter alia with Angola, Ghana, Liberia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Nigeria, Rwanda and South Africa, as well as various regional country groups, such as COMESA, EAC and WAEMU. Discussions and negotiations with the SACU group are ongoing.

When the Past Divisions are the Path to the Present Vision of Unity in Africa

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is a preferential trade regime aiming to progressively dismantling tariffs on goods and services produced on the continent, or with raw materials from Africa. The intention behind this large-scale project is to promote the free circulation of goods and thus stimulate intra-continental trade.

African leaders on Wednesday, March 23, 2018, signed three major economic agreements during the extraordinary session of Heads of State and Government of the African Union (AU) in Kigali, creating a Continental Free Trade Area (Zlec), perceived as essential to Africa’s economic development, through increased intra-African trade.

Some 44 countries signed the agreement establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area, while 43 heads of state signed the Kigali declaration for the launch of Zlec, and 27 signed protocols relating to the free movement of people, right to residence, and right of establishment.

Zlec gave birth to the largest free trade area in the world since the World Trade Organization which was established in 1995. Nineteen presidents attended as a number of prime ministers and government officials also signed for their respective countries.

Heavyweights, such as Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, and yet very protectionist Algeria, have signed the agreement, which will enter into force within 180 days after being ratified by the signatory countries.

“Some countries have reservations and have not yet finalized their national consultations. But we will have another summit in Mauritania in July and we hope these countries will sign then,” said AU Commissioner for Trade and Industry, Albert Muchanga.

Eleven countries out of the fifty-four countries of the AU are still missing, including Nigeria, whose President Muhammadu Buhari had decided not to make the trip to Kigali, after one of the largest unions in the country, Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), had expressed its fears on the negative effects of the Zlec for the national economy. This union had also asked to be more involved in the negotiations and Mr. Buhari had agreed to “give more time to consultations”. Nigeria was one of the first economies on the continent, which had nevertheless coordinated the negotiations with Egypt. Other countries that have not signed the agreement include South Africa, and Benin, countries seeking taxes, especially on products transiting through their ports or roads, including Eritrea, Burundi,

Zlec must allow the gradual elimination of customs duties between member countries, thus promoting trade within the continent and allowing African countries to emancipate themselves from an economic system that is too focused on the exploitation of raw materials. The AU estimates that the implementation of Zlec will increase the level of intra-African trade by nearly 60% by 2022. Currently, only 16% of African countries’ trade is with other countries on the continent.

If the 55 member countries of the AU sign the document, the Zlec will open access to a market of 1.2 billion people, for a cumulative GDP of more than 2,500 billion dollars. Its advocates believe it will help diversify African economies and industrialize the continent while providing a unique platform to negotiate better trade deals with the outside world. Zlec is one of the key projects highlighted by the AU in its Agenda 2063, a long-term development program that aims to facilitate the flow of goods and people on the continent. At its last summit, in January in Addis Ababa, the AU had thus announced the creation of a single and liberalized market for air transport, including 23 countries of the continent.

Under the theme: “Creating an African Market”, the initiative falls under the AU Agenda 2063 It is estimated that if all 55 AU Member States ratify it, the agreement will bring together 1.2 billion people with a combined gross domestic product (GDP) of over US$2 billion.

Cameroon is one of the countries committed to drive the development of a liberalized African market. On July 2, 2023, the Port Autonome de Kribi, Cameroon’s second largest port, welcomed its first cargo under the AfCFTA regime, from Tunisia. Cameroon had already launched a first wave of goods exports under this regime at the end of 2022.

The process of dismantling customs tariffs has begun in the country, in line with the outline adopted by the AfCFTA authorities: to ensure a smooth transition to market liberalization, customs tariffs will be gradually reduced to zero over 13 years. The first 10 years will concern 90% of the products identified by the authorities, and 7% of products over the remaining years. Certain “sensitive” products (3%) will be excluded from liberalization, in order to protect local industries from increased competition.
