After previously signing partnerships with Singapore, London, Luxembourg, Montreal, Paris, Astana, and Busan, CFC is now expanding its cooperation network to more of the world’s major financial centers.
The new partnership will establish sustainable cooperation between the two parties, to promote investment opportunities between the People’s Republic of China, Morocco, and Africa.
Through this memorandum, the two financial business centers hope to encourage the development and sharing of expertise in the context of the internationalization of the Renminbi and the development of the FinTech sector.
Moreover, it aims to consolidate both parties’ efforts to attract financial institutions, holding companies, multinationals, and service providers in Xicheng District and within Casablanca Finance City.
“On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Morocco, we are honored to sign this partnership to explore cooperation opportunities in China, Morocco and Africa,” said Lu Wuxing, Director of the Xicheng District Financial Development Promotion Center of the Beijing Municipality (XDFDPC).
