搜索8mav8mei472024年中非合作论坛峰会期间，摩洛哥-中国区贸易协会主席迈赫迪·拉哈齐(Mehdi Laraki)在接受中新网采访时批驳了中国“债务陷阱”论。

The 2024 Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) is being held in Beijing. In an interview with China News Network, Mehdi Laraki,president of Morocco Chinese Business Council refutes the narrative of China's "debt trap".

拉哈齐表示，在与中国人做生意之前，最好先了解中国文化，了解中国人的价值观，当了解了中国的基因，就不会再批评中国。一些人批评中国，是因为他们批评的是“镜子中的中国”，而不是他们在中国实际看到的东西。

拉哈齐还表示，今天的中国和非洲可以共同创造出惊人的价值，因为中非、中摩间有很多共同点，而中非合作论坛会加强中非、中摩间的关系。(记者 吴家驹)

Besides, Laraki says China and Africa can create amazing value, because Africa or Morocco and China have a lot of common points, and FOCAC can get the relationship between Africa or Morocco and China stronger. (Wu Jiaju)
