Morocco's Ambassador to China Predicts 'Golden Era' for Africa-China Ties
Morocco's new ambassador to China, Abdelkader El Ansari, has sparked optimism about deepening cooperation between African nations and the Chinese mainland through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). During an interview with CGTN's Li Mengyuan, El Ansari highlighted the BRI's growing role as a catalyst for shared development and economic transformation across the continent.
Why it matters: The BRI has already funded ports, highways, and digital infrastructure in 52 African countries. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi recently called it 'the most popular global public good' and a bridge for 'opportunity and prosperity.'
From Morocco's solar energy projects to Kenya's railways, the BRI is reshaping Africa's economic landscape. For young entrepreneurs and investors, this means new cross-border tech partnerships and green energy opportunities.
