China–Morocco relations
By its stability, geographic location and millenary friendship, the vision of Morocco in China shifted in the recent years from a solid cooperation to a strategic win-win partnership.This visit enabled the strengthening of political relations between the two countries, based on the principles of friendship, understanding, solidarity, and a common will to diversify areas of bilateral cooperation.This new dynamic regarding economic relations between the countries was illustrated by the visit in 2016 of His Majesty King Mohamed VI in Beijing and the signature of numerous agreements in multiple sectors, including energy, mining, infrastructures, industry and investment.[15][16] With regard to the issue of Western Sahara conflict, as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, China supported Resolution 2240 in 2018 and resolution 2602 in 2021, which urged all parties to resume dialogue, in good faith, towards a just, lasting and mutually acceptable political solution, "which will provide for the self determination of the people of Western Sahara",[17] Zhang Jun, the Chinese representative to the UN encouraged the new Envoy to push forward with the political process, adding that his country will continue to hold an objective and fair position on the issue.China North Industries Group Corporation Limited — commonly referred to as NORINCO — delivered 24 Sky Dragon 50 medium-range surface-to-air missiles to Morocco in December 2017.
