RABAT [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-tn.html]Nike Air Max TN Ireland[/url] , Dec. 10 (Xinhua) -- Morocco's recent signing of an agreement with China's BYD, a leading electric vehicle maker, is set to boost its ambitious auto manufacturing industry.

Under the agreement signed on Saturday, BYD will build a factory in Morocco to produce battery-powered vehicles in the northern city of Tangier, which is expected to employ 2,500 people.

The factory is planned in an area of 50 hectares (0.5 square km) in the new Mohamed VI Tangier Tech City [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-zero.html]Nike Air Max Zero Ireland[/url] , as part of a project between China and Morocco to set up a large scale industrial hub in northern Morocco.

The 1-billion-U.S. dollar industrial park aims to host hundreds of Chinese companies in numerous industries, including auto manufacturing, aerospace, aviation spare parts, electronic information, textiles and machinery manufacturing.

Moroccan Ministry of Industry has set a strategic goal of joining the top 10 vehicle-producing nations in the world in a few years. The country ranks currently among the top 15.

The North African kingdom aims to reach a capacity of producing 1 million vehicles a year by 2025 [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-zero.html]Cheap Nike Air Max Zero[/url] , it added.

BYD will become the third car manufacturer to produce cars in the North African state. Renault has already set up two car factories in Morocco, and PSA Peugeot Citroen will begin producing cars near the coastal city of Kenitra in 2019.

When the future plant of Peugeot-Citroen is operational in Kenitra in 2019, the country should exceed the threshold of producing 650,000 vehicles yearly, officials said.

Adding a fourth major auto plant before the end of 2021 will enable the country to meet its goal, Moroccan authorities believe.

With BYD's participation [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-98.html]Nike Air Max 98 Ireland[/url] , Morocco also takes a step forward in another bid to become a major producer of renewable energy, where 52 percent of the country's energy consumption will be from renewable energy by 2030.

The launch of the BYD factory reinforces Morocco's commitment to sustainable development, which is now a cornerstone of the Moroccan economic model and contributes to its international commitment to reducing carbon dioxide emissions from transportation.

Morocco is also developing its supplier base to support the growing network of vehicle producing plants by attracting some important players in the industry, including Japanese manufacturer JTEKT and Italy's Magneti Marelli.

BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- As 2017 moves further into the rearview mirror, it leaves a mixed message. The year has seen both hope and fear in an increasingly complex and interdependent world and the call is for all countries to joins hands and shoulder their due responsibility.

A DIVIDED WORLD

It's been a year of tumult that brought a flurry of changes marking a divided world. Some countries retreated into nationalism [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-98.html]Cheap Nike Air Max 98[/url] , protectionism or unilateralism. Globalization faced political headwinds while instability and uncertainty prevailed.

In the international arena, the United States pulled up the drawbridge in the name of protecting national interests. Since he assumed office in January, President Donald Trump has abandoned or threatened to quit several international accords under his "America First" policy. Washington withdrew from the Paris Agreement on climate change, pulled out of the United Nations (UN)'s culture and education body UNESCO, and ended its participation in the Global Compact on Migration, dismaying even close allies.

Domestically [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-270.html]Nike Air Max 270 Ireland[/url] , the Trump Administration came under fire for the continued racial and ethnic tensions that started erupting since his predecessor Barack Obama's tenure. In August, a UN committee to tackle racism issued "an early warning" over the conditions in the United States, prompting The Guardian daily to comment that after the warning, "America's self-image begins to crack."

In 2017, a spate of elections across Europe -- in the Netherlands, France [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-270.html]Cheap Nike Air Max 270[/url] , Germany and Austria -- added to the turmoil. With German Chancellor Angela Merkel failing to form a majority government and voicing her preference for reelections, she may face a tougher battle if reelections are held.

Also, following British Prime Minister Theresa May's plodding ahead with Brexit talks, there is now widespread fear that the trail blazed by Brexiters will trigger more euroscepticism and europhobia. Analysts have said that Britain exiting the European Union (EU) poses a systematic challenge to the future of European integrity.

There are more rifts elsewhere. The Russia-U.S. tit-for-tat tussle has escalated, leading to new sanctions and diplomatic expulsions. The U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has seen a volley of global condemnation and protests.

In the turbulent Middle East, after the violence in Syria and Yemen [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-93.html]Cheap Nike Air Max 93[/url] , now oil-rich Qatar has been isolated by its powerful Arab neighbors over its alleged support for terrorism.

"All these problems should be addressed by regional cooperation, multilateral mechanisms and globalization," Ruan Zongze, executive vice president of China Institute of International Studies, the think tank of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has told Xinhua.

CHANNELS FOR WIN-WIN COOPERATION

Experts are calling for channels of communication and multilateral cooperation to avoid misunderstandings that could worsen into conflicts.

"Creating a shared future in a fractured world requires addressing issues on the global agenda in a holistic [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-93.html]Nike Air Max 93 Ireland[/url] , interconnected and future-oriented way," Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, recently said in Geneva.

Several multilateral organizations are doing that. At the G20 Summit in Hamburg in July, the bloc's leaders agreed to support free trade, globalization and open markets [url=http://www.cheapmax90ireland.com/nike-air-max-cheap-sale/nike-air-max-180.html]Nike Air Max 180 Ireland[/url] , and oppose protectionism. This is a continuation of the legacy of the 2016
