Morocco would like to create a coal hub in the country with Russia's participation, as the electricity sector in the country runs mostly on coal, and 80% of Moroccan coal comes from Russia, Deputy Head of the Russian-Moroccan Business Council Razha Shafik El' Ali said on Tuesday. He noted that Morocco's geographical position allows this thanks to the location of Moroccan ports in different water areas.

"The electricity sector in Morocco today uses 65% coal, and Morocco imports coal from Russia, 80% of Moroccan coal comes from Russia. And in this regard, our partners in Morocco have proposed an interesting scheme, which is the creation of a coal hub in Morocco," El' Ali said at a press conference.
