< p > then, the Chinese ambassador to Morocco Sun Shuzhong said that in June this year, the king of Morocco will pay a state visit to China, and some relevant agreements that are conducive to bilateral investment between China and Moldovia are expected to arrive.

It can be seen that the heat of economic cooperation between China and Mo is gradually increasing, including textile and garment industry.

The textile and garment industry is the second pillar industry in Morocco. The Morocco textile and garment industry association expressed its great desire to find Chinese partners to jointly develop the European and American markets.

Mohamed Tazi said: "in order to achieve the 2025 textile industry plan, we will sign a commitment letter with the government and promise to triple Morocco's textile exports in the next 10 years.

China will become a good partner of Morocco, especially in spinning, weaving, accessories and other fields, and will enable us to complete export targets. "

< p > referring to the advantages of investment in Morocco, Mohamed Tazi pointed out that Morocco has signed free trade agreements with Turkey, the European Union, the United States and Arabia countries, and gained market access opportunities of these countries, and promoted the "a href=" //www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp "bilateral trade < /a > between Morocco and these countries.

Chinese enterprises can enter other markets more easily through Morocco.

< /p >

< p > in addition, he thinks China and Morocco are equal in terms of business cost.

"The cost of spinning machines is almost the same as that of China in one day.

< a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp > > Morocco < /a > the basic wage of textile workers is 200 euros per month, including all taxes and fees, which is not much different from that of China.

More importantly, we are closer to Europe, closer to consumers in Europe and faster in response to market demand. "

He pointed out that "this is also an opportunity for Morocco.

Chinese enterprises can help us improve the industrial chain.

Morocco a href= "//www.sjfzxm.com/news/index_c.asp" > textile industry < /a > is full of opportunities. Opportunities are everywhere in production and design.

< p > Somitex is a textile enterprise located in Kentitra.

According to Youssef Bessa, general manager of the company, the company's products are designed in the United Kingdom, produced in Morocco, and then exported to the UK market.

"At present, all our raw materials are dependent on imports. This is also the main difficulty facing the company.

Our current production capacity is 3 million pieces per year. If we can solve the problem of raw material supply, the output can at least double to 6 million. "

He said so.

At the same time, he said, "because enterprises need to place orders, pay and receive goods from different regions in the process of production, they spend a lot of time and energy in the process. But enterprises mainly do fast fashion products, and time is the most important for us. The tedious process will lead to the loss of many orders by the company." P

We very much hope that China's partners can join in. Morocco needs more than just financial support, but also needs advanced textile technology and perfect industrial chain matching.

Because we already have the production capacity and the market, we hope to find some partners to jointly develop the European and American markets. "

In order to attract overseas investment, the government of Morocco is actively formulating a more preferential incentive policy. < p >

Mohamed Tazi said: "at present, the government of Morocco has promised to return up to 20% of the capital to foreign enterprises invested in the textile industry.

We feel that this is not enough. We are consulting with the relevant departments and will provide investors with higher return quota and more preferential incentive policies. "

At the same time, Morocco's free trade area also provides investors with various preferential policies, such as tariff free and simplification of customs procedures.
