Morocco, China Praise Quality of Long-standing Relations

Morocco and China highlighted, Tuesday in Rabat, the quality of their long-standing relations in a meeting between head of government, Saad Eddine El Othmani, and chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and president of the Chinese Chamber of International Trade, Jiang Zengwei, who is leading a large delegation of economic actors on a working visit to Morocco.

The meeting was an opportunity for both parties to commend the excellent long-standing friendship links between the Kingdom of Morocco and the People's Republic of China, said a statement by the head of government's office, noting that the Kingdom is one of the first Arab and African countries to establish diplomatic relations with China for 60 years.

El Othmani and the Chinese official expressed their satisfaction with the remarkable development of Sino-Moroccan cooperation in the various fields, especially after the official visit paid in 2016 by HM King Mohammed VI to the People's Republic of China, and which was marked by the signing of a joint declaration on the establishment of a strategic partnership between the two countries, the statement added.

The two parties also stressed the need to increase communication meetings between economic actors in both countries and to create permanent contact areas, allowing optimal use of all available investment opportunities. They also underlined the importance of strengthening cultural ties and human relations between the two partner countries.
