To strengthen the existing relationship between China and Morocco, the Chinese Ambassador to Morocco, Sun Shuzhong recently announced a plan to encourage more Moroccan students to study at Chinese universities.
At the China Higher Education Exhibition in May, the ambassador and staff from Chinese universities highlighted 22 well-known universities in the country, and explained the benefits of studying abroad in China. They discussed specialty fields in transportation, foreign languages, finance, industry, geology, science, aerospace, and other fields.
The ambassador hopes to see more educational cooperation between the two countries, in addition to the already-strong economic ties.
Last March, Morocco became the first Arab country to launch a Chinese state-affiliated institution, the Confucious Institute.
China aims high with its goals of increasing its number of international students. With over 2,800 institutions of higher education, 36 million students, and $563 billion of its budget to the educational sector, China has the resources—and the capital—to encourage growth in Morocco.
