Public affairs firms in Canada and North Africa form partnership
September 17, 2018
Flagship Solutions is pleased to announce the signature of an agreement with Public Affairs & Services (PASS).
Flagship Solutions is a government relations and public relations firm based in Ottawa, Canada. PASS, based in Morocco since 2002, is specialized in public affairs and economic intelligence. Its activities include the Maghreb region.
Canada and the three North African countries (Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia) have trade relations estimated at more than $3.4 billion (2016). Furthermore, a number of bilateral and multilateral agreements have been signed or are being finalized (Canada-Morocco Free Trade, collaboration in investments between Canada and Tunisia, etc.).
The objective of this agreement is to further the interests of the respective clients of the two firms as well as expand services to new clients interested in doing work in the countries covered by the agreement.
Understanding the regulatory and institutional framework in a country requires a knowledge of local issues that both firms can offer. The common objective is to guide clients through their work with various local institutions, and especially governments. Furthermore, the two firms share a common vision in the need for quality client services and ethics.
“North Africa is growth market for Canadian corporations and NGOs and we are pleased to know that, with PASS, they will be well served,” stated Serge Buy, senior partner at Flagship Solutions.
“On top of tens of thousands of Moroccans, Algerians and Tunisians living in Canada, we noted a strong interest from a large number of North African multinationals to expand their activities to Canada. Flagship Solutions is well positioned to support them, added Hatim Benjelloun, Associate Director at PASS.
