The new Moroccan Ambassador to China, Abdelkader El Ansari, recently attended the Morocco-China Agricultural Promotion Event hosted by the Foreign Economic Cooperation Center of China’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The event marked a significant step in enhancing agricultural collaboration between the two nations.
During an interview with CGTN’s Li Mengyuan, Ambassador El Ansari highlighted the vast potential of the expansive Chinese mainland market for Moroccan agricultural products. “Morocco offers a rich variety of high-quality agricultural goods that align with the needs of Chinese consumers,” he stated. “We are ready to become one of the essential partners for China in this sector.”
El Ansari emphasized the mutual benefits of strengthening agricultural ties, noting that increased cooperation could lead to economic growth and food security for both countries. He also pointed out that Morocco’s strategic location serves as a gateway between Africa and Europe, making it an ideal partner for China under the Belt and Road Initiative.
The ambassador expressed optimism about future collaborations, saying, “Our participation in events like this underscores our commitment to deepening our relationship with China. We look forward to exploring new opportunities and forging partnerships that will benefit our peoples.”
The promotion event provided a platform for Moroccan officials and businesses to showcase their agricultural products and technologies. Chinese industry leaders and government representatives were able to engage directly with Moroccan counterparts, laying the groundwork for potential trade agreements and joint ventures.
As global economic landscapes shift, both Morocco and China are seeking to leverage their strengths in agriculture to meet domestic demands and contribute to international markets. Strengthened ties in this sector are expected to enhance economic cooperation and foster long-term partnerships between the two countries.
