During the last decade, Chinese economic presence mainly developed in Algeria because of oil and Egypt because of the geostrategic importance of the Suez Canal. But the tendency is about to change.\nMoulay Hafid Elalamy, Morocco\u2019s trade minister, welcomed his Chinese partners for a meeting on the realization of the full potential of the Morocco-China-Africa partnership in developing infrastructures, reminding Morocco&#8217;s economic leadership in Africa.\nMorocco is indeed the leading investor in West Africa\u00a0and the 2nd largest investor in Africa with $ 8 billion investments between 2015 and 2016. Moroccan companies are operating in 27 countries\u00a0in the continent into different sectors. Moreover, Morocco&#8217;s geographic Mediterranean position appears to play an important role in the Chinese business leaders\u2019 perspectives.\nThe port of Tangier, the 3rd largest hub around the world after Shanghai and Panama, particularly appears to be a strategic space for China whose financial objectives are Mediterranean. Morocco didn&#8217;t fail to recall its oriental partner that the port was one of the world&#8217;s busiest sea routes connecting the Mediterranean to the Atlantic. Only nine miles separate the port from the European mainland making a foremost space for China&#8217;s investments.\nOthman El Ferdaous, Moroccan Secretary of State to the Minister of Industry and Investment, also spoke about the &#8216;fourth road of silk&#8217; gradually emerging in the Iberian Peninsula to Atlantic Africa and to the Gulf of Guinea\u2019s extension.\n&#8220;How Moroccan investments could be a crucial advantage to the African industry ?&#8221; was discussed in the forum. Indeed a platform able to gather international actors could be a leading point to the future of the continent economic development.\nDiscover out our latest videos about the economic news in Morocco :\u00a0\n\n\u00a0\n\n","author":66,"featured_media":5030,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","tags":[5761,5751,2961,5750,5759,5762],"location":[5525],"class_list":["post-28017","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-decision-makers","tag-economy","tag-institutions","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-trending","location-morocco"],"short_url":"","have_related_news":null,"chapo":"The China-Africa Investment Forum gathered for its second edition on Nov. 27-28  in Marrakech more than 400 African and Chinese trade and investment\u2019s stakeholders.
