Visit of the Ambassador of Mauritania to IOC headquarters

Madrid / 10.02.2021

H.E. Kane Boubaker, Ambassador of the Republic of Mauritania in Madrid, held talks with the Executive Director, Abdellatif Ghedira, on implementing the cooperation agreement signed in Nouakchott on 28 January 2021 with the Mauritanian Minister of Rural Development, H.E. Dy Ould Zein.

The Executive Director described the steps planned up to the official accession of Mauritania to the International Agreement on Olive Oil and Table Olives 2015 and the activities the country will be able to benefit from once it becomes a Member of the Organisation.

The heads of the different areas of IOC activities intervened to provide more detailed information, including Eduardo Muela, Head of the Legal Department; Abdelkrim Adi, Head of the Olive Growing, Olive Oil Technology and Environment Unit; and Mercedes Fernández, Head of the Chemistry and Standardisation Unit.

The Ambassador expressed the hope that this collaboration would materialise as soon as possible. He recalled the importance of olive products in Mauritanian culture and culinary traditions and indicated that the cultivation of olive trees in his country would not only create a new industry and jobs but would also be an excellent means of combating desertification.
