Manama: The world economic forum on the Middle East and North Africa will be held in Morocco in October, sources said.
"The forum will be hosted by the government of Morocco on October 26-28 in Marrakesh," the sources told Gulf News.
Last year, Claus Schwab the president of the World Economic Form said the sixth World Economic Forum on the Middle East would be held in the Moroccan city in May 2010.
The meeting in a country geographically close to Europe is expected to highlight the engagement of North Africa with the European Union to address the long-standing challenges of human security, good governance and geopolitical stability, the sources said.
Other transnational issues expected to be addressed at the forum include energy security, migration, climate change and demographic shifts.
