The New Development Model (NMD) was at the center of talks, on Friday in Rabat, between the High Commissioner for Planning Ahmed Lahlimi Alami and the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China Li Changlin.

In a statement to MAP after the meeting, Lahlimi Alami said the meeting provided an opportunity to review relations between China and Morocco.

Underlining the great similarities between the two countries, Lahlimi noted that Rabat and Beijing are “aware of their interests, of the value of their institutions and of their duties towards the future of their peoples, and also of the future of their cooperation with the world”.

Like the Republic of China, Morocco is a large country which enjoys a geostrategic positioning and cultural depth, recalled Lahlimi, affirming that many sectors are open to fruitful cooperation between the two countries.

With the launch of the NMD, Morocco is committed to a medium-term vision for its future, carried out by Moroccans, with Moroccans and for Moroccans, he said.

For his part, Changlin said that this New Development Model offers the opportunity for a joint reflection between the Kingdom and China in order to identify new areas of cooperation.

“With this discussion on this New Development Model, we were able to identify areas of cooperation on which Morocco and China can agree,” said Changlin.
