Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi said in Beijing Tuesday that China is willing to work with Morocco to explore new ways and fields for further economic and trade cooperation.

China will encourage its enterprises to participate in Morocco's infrastructure construction and carry out mutually-beneficial cooperation with the Moroccan business circle, Wu said during a meeting with Morocco's Minister of External Commerce Mustapha Mechahouri.

China and Morocco established full diplomatic ties in 1958. Wu said the past 46 years witnessed a stable development of China-Morocco relations and growing bilateral cooperation in politics and economy.

The two sides also share the same view on and have cooperated well in many key international issues, she said.

Mechahouri, who arrived in Beijing on Sunday for a six-day visit, said Morocco attaches great importance to its relations with China and supports the one-China policy.

He said Morocco and China share common stances on many key international issues and his country is willing to improve the mutually-beneficial friendly cooperation with China.
