Xinhua, July 2, 2016 Adjust font size:

Morocco will host the first edition of the African Forum of Renewable Energies on July 15-16 in the city of Marrakech, said the Moroccan Ministry of Environment in a statement on Saturday.

The forum aims at creating links and synergies among African countries that share the same ambitions and energy concerns, the statement said.

It also seeks to be a hub for exchange of experiences on renewable energy, said the statement.

The forum will gather 500 participants, including economic and social actors, government officials and experts.

The forum offers eight thematic sessions, several panel discussions, workshops, project proposals and testimonials.

The forum comes ahead of the 22nd Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 22) scheduled this November in Marrakesh. Endit
