Recently, a local media reported that Morocco and China had agreed to set up an economic zone in Fez, a northern city in Morocco, offering a platform for boosting bilateral cooperations in various industries.
In fact, bilateral economic cooperations between Morocco and China have been growing steadily since the establishment of a strategic partnership during the Moroccan King's visit to China in May 2016. Since then, Morocco has witnessed a wave of Chinese investment in the country, especially in the areas of infrastructure construction and industrialization.
China Business Network organized this event. Aassisted by China Business Network, SMIT will continue its promotion roadshow in China. Next, the delegation will go to Shanghai (October 23) and the roadshow will end in Beijing (October 25).
