The New Era: China in My Eyes | Moroccan Ambassador to China: Morocco has great ambitions for the Belt and Road Initiative

In the year of 2024, “Belt and Road Initiative” has wrapped up its first vigorous decade and is actively embracing a new golden decade. Reviewing the past, what tangible achievements has BRI made and why has it become a popular international public good and international cooperation platform? Looking ahead, how can BRI achieve new developments of higher quality and higher level? Based on this, China Radio International Online launches "Dialogue with Ambassadors in China: China's Role in the Global Governance" series, interviewing a number of ambassadors to China from BRI partner countries and inviting them to share their views on this.

H.E. Abdelkader El Ansari, Moroccan ambassador to China, took office in February this year. He has visited China many times before and noted the similarities between the two countries in terms of long history and tourism resources. He hoped that direct flights between the two countries could be resumed as soon as possible, referring the bilateral exchanges as the best "cement" to consolidate bilateral relations and people-to-people bonds. The ambassador is looking forward to the new session of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) to be held this autumn and believes that China and Morocco can work together to promote the development of Africa.
