China and Morocco hold convergent views on regional issues, the Chinese special envoy on the Middle East issue, Gong Xiaosheng, said in Morocco late Monday.
"The choice of making Morocco the first leg in my trip to the region illustrates our interest in the position and the influence Morocco has in the region," Gong said in an interview with the official agency MAP following talks with Moroccan Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation Mbarka Bouaida.
