Economy Minister Valon Saraqini and French Ambassador to Macedonia Laurence Auer concluded Wednesday that Skopje and Paris should work together to bolster the cooperation between the governments and private sector of both countries.
They agreed a realization of a project for employees of the Ministry of Economy to learn the French language, Saraqini's Cabinet said in a press release.
Referring to the Macedonian Government economic policies, Saraqini told Auer that the attention should be focused on the energy and road infrastructure sectors, which should result in attracting foreign capital and tourists, considering the country's location, investment potential and natural resources.
He also mentioned the project that would enable young people to learn how an idea could turn into a successful business.
Auer reaffirmed the French support of Macedonia's EU integration and commended the country's reform progress, also acknowledged recently by the European Commission's report.
Tomorrow, France's Embassy in Skopje is organizing a French-Macedonian Business Forum, the press release reads.
