Promoting Economic Development in Africa: The Significance of South-South Economic and Commercial Diplomacy A Moroccan Perspective

Abstract:

This article examines how economic diplomacy is developing in African countries and how this is affecting politics at home and abroad. With an emphasis on procedures like official visits and trade missions, it explicitly looks at how economic diplomacy and regional integration affect the dynamics of bilateral trade. Diplomatic initiatives can boost trade and open up new prospects even in the face of political obstacles. In an effort to close information gaps and improve understanding of trade, the study also examines how bilateral diplomacy, regional integration, and South-South trade affect African export promotion tactics. Results point to potential complications in bilateral talks within the framework of regional integration, which could affect trade dynamics and build member state trust.

The study highlights the benefits of bilateral diplomatic efforts and regional integration for security, while also underscoring the critical roles that economic diplomacy and regional cohesiveness play in promoting trade and economic development in Africa. In order to overcome resource limitations, the study also suggests creative growth techniques. It highlights the significance of interdisciplinary approaches, methodological variety, and talent development in order to change the investment climate in Africa. It uses a strong qualitative analytical methodology and lessons learned from Morocco to identify potential for public-private partnerships, inclusive data creation, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
