RABAT, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Morocco and Burkina Faso have inked a partnership framework agreement to develop renewable energy, the Moroccan Agency for Solar Energy (Masen) said in a statement on Monday.

Inked by Masen's head Mustapha Bakkoury and Burkina Faso's energy minister Bachir Ismael Ouedraogo in Rabat, this agreement seeks to foster bilateral cooperation through sharing of information, expertise and know-how in the area of renewable energy, the statement pointed out.

The agreement aims to serve as a platform for the two sides to boost renewable energy share in their respective energy mix.

Bakkoury said "we strongly believe that sharing expertise and know-how with our southern and northern neighbours is crucial for technological and economic development of renewable energy to turn it into competitive and accessible technologies."
