Official partner of MDS

11/03/2008

For the third year running, KIA MOTORS Morocco confirms its attachment to the MARATHON DES SABLES as official sponsor. The event, with its sporting and human dimension, is now in its 23rd year and continues to be among the most successful extreme races in the world. Won over by this adventure, Kia Motors Morocco has backed a series of press conferences, beginning in Paris and going through to Barcelona, Frankfurt, Brussels and Casablanca. "Our association with the MARATHON DES SABLES extends beyond simple financial support. We are committed to trying to guarantee this event all the international promotion it merits", stresses Amine Belkhouya,
president of Kia Motors Morocco. "All the more so because
Kia Motors wants to be involved in a global way, giving it the right to promote this partnership beyond the national level."
