In Tangier-Morocco, under the high patronage of His Majesty Mohammed VI, the first edition of the BLUE AFRICA SUMMIT on November 16 and 17, 2023, the Academy of the Kingdom of Morocco, La Saison Bleue and the World Sea Forum have drawn up a first map of the major issues of maritime Africa, the Mediterranean basins, Atlantic and Indian, by 2030.

In “the Tangier Declaration” endorsed by representatives of twenty-six nations of the continent at the end of two founding days rich in exchanges and sharing of experiences, the participants affirmed that African growth, including that of landlocked countries , would depend largely on internationblue africa summit

al trade, more than 90% of which was done by sea. Through its ports, straits and canals, maritime Africa thus linked the Indian Ocean, the Mozambique Channel, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean into a dynamic whole. An Africa thus fully connected to Europe, the Americas and Asia.

It is therefore this vision that the second edition of the BLUE AFRICA SUMMIT will bring to fruition. This will take place in Tangier on October 9 and 10, 2024.

Recognizing the strategic importance of these actors gathered in Morocco, the organizers of the 3rd United Nations Ocean Conference (Nice, June 2025) also proposed to the BLUE AFRICA SUMMIT to organize a day of regional consultation, on October 9, to present the objectives and ambitions of UNOC3 and collect the expectations of United Nations Member States and other invited partners.

We therefore invite you to participate in this exceptional second edition and we look forward to welcome you in Tangiers.
