MOROCCO: On February 29 ONCF Director General Mohammed Rabie Khlie signed a six-year co-operation agreement with Enric Ticó, President of Catalunya regional operator FGC, which will see both railways work together to improve efficiency and performance.
As well as training, technical assistance and collaboration on projects, maintenance and procurement, the agreement makes provision for ONCF and FGC to form strategic alliances in areas of common interest.
