Morocco opens consulate in Bengaluru

The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco in India on Monday said the honorary consulate in Bengaluru has become operational and started its services.

It also announced the appointment of Dr Pratap Madhukar Kamath as the Honorary Consul of the Kingdom of Morocco to Karnataka.

The opening of the consulate here with jurisdiction over Karnataka, in addition to those already operational in Mumbai and Kolkata, reflects the importance that the Kingdom attaches to the development of its relations with India both at the Central and State levels, it said in a statement.

''The choice of Karnataka reflects the importance that the State plays economically in India and also its growing role in many domains of interest,'' it said.
