Dr .Khalid El Fataoui : I Am a Friend of China and Proud of It

By Dr. Khalid El Fataoui
President of the Morocco–China Association for Culture and Industry

The friendship between Morocco and China is not only diplomatic — it is a sincere bond built on mutual respect, solidarity, and shared values. As President of the Morocco–China Association for Culture and Industry, I proudly affirm that our relationship represents a model of South–South cooperation, and a beacon of trust between peoples and civilizations.

During every period of challenge, China has stood by Morocco. From the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, when China provided vaccines and medical assistance, to the earthquake relief operations, when Chinese partners sent humanitarian aid and technical support, our countries have demonstrated what true partnership means: help in times of need, not just words of sympathy.

Beyond Morocco, the entire African continent recognizes China as a loyal friend. Thousands of Africans, from students to entrepreneurs, share the same conviction: China is not a distant superpower — it is a partner and a family member who understands our aspirations for progress, peace, and dignity. When China faces difficulties, Africa will stand with China, because our destinies are linked by history, cooperation, and mutual respect.

Today, as the world faces uncertainty, the China–Africa partnership remains a source of hope and stability. We share the same dream: a fairer world, a world that values peace over conflict, and development over domination.

That is why I say with pride and conviction

I am a friend of China, and proud of it.
Together, Morocco, Africa, and China will continue to build a future of peace, solidarity, and shared prosperity .
