In a heartfelt celebration of cultural exchange, Abdelkader El Ansari, the Ambassador of Morocco to China, highlighted the enduring ties between Morocco and China through the shared love of green tea. Speaking at the \"UniTea: Macao Tea Melody\" program, hosted by CGTN and CRI Online, Ambassador El Ansari emphasized the historical significance of Chinese green tea in Morocco.
Introduced to Morocco in the 18th century, Chinese green tea has since become one of the country's most iconic beverages. Today, Morocco stands as the world's largest importer of Chinese green tea, bringing in over 70,000 tons annually. This substantial trade not only underscores the economic links between the two nations but also celebrates a shared cultural heritage.
Marking the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to China, the ambassador extended warm wishes for the success of the program, reflecting on the strong and growing relationship between Morocco and China. The event served as a testament to how traditions like tea can bridge cultures and foster international friendships.
