Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Nasser Bourita, met with his Chinese counterpart, Wang Yi, in Beijing on Wednesday, to discuss boosting the two nations’ ties.
This meeting is part of a positive bilateral momentum since the creation of the strategic partnership declaration, signed by King Mohammed VI and President Xi Jinping during the monarch’s royal visit to Beijing in May 2016.
During the meeting between the two ministers, both countries reaffirmed their mutual and reciprocal support on fundamental issues concerning their mutual interests.
They commended the depth of the friendship and cooperation between the two countries and welcomed initiatives to enhance political, economic, and cultural ties.
The ministers explored opportunities for economic and trade exchanges, particularly in Morocco’s booming industries.
The meeting comes at a time when Chinese companies are increasingly flocking to the North African country, attracted to its thriving industries within the energy and mobility sectors.
