Morocco to Celebrate 20th Anniversary of Enthronement of King Mohammed VI

The Kingdom of Morocco on 30 July, will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the accession of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the Alawit Throne.

This celebration is a renewed opportunity to illustrate the strong symbiosis between the Moroccans and the Alawite throne; demonstrating the renewal of the Act of Allegiance between the Throne and the people.

Furthermore, the Throne Day represents a moment of great importance in the Nation’s life to highlight the valuable gains made during the last years and aspiration to more achievements to build a modern and prosperous country under the ruling of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, a glorious symbol of the country’s unity.

Since the enthronement of His Majesty King Mohammed VI on July 30, 1999, and thanks to numerous courageous and bold initiatives amid Morocco's facing major changes, numerous economic and social projects have accomplished important achievements and seen the country's engagement in a process of profound political reforms according to an inclusive approach placing the dignity and the fulfilment of the Moroccan citizen in the heart of the state's concerns.

These reforms have been carried mainly out in the political, economic, social, religious, justice and human rights fields, notably the creation of the Instance of Equity and Reconciliation in the field of transitional justice, the reform of the justice system and the reinforcement of its independence, the consolidation of human rights and the adoption of a new Constitution in 2011 that constituted an important advance in the political and social life and has permitted the consecration of the values of democracy, citizenship and human rights.

Great advances in road infrastructure, highway, railway, port and airport were achieved, which promoted economic exchanges, reduced regional disparities and contributed to the creation of workplaces.

As one of the four most ecological countries in the world, the Moroccan leadership in the environmental field has been materialized by the Kingdom's commitment to producing 52% of its electricity from green energies by 2030. In this perspective, Morocco has put in place a major energy plan, composed of several renewable energy production projects, such as the solar power plant "NOOR", the largest solar project in the world, and the wind farm of the city of “Tarfaya” in the south of Morocco, which is the largest in Africa.

The Kingdom of Morocco has successfully organized and chaired the 22nd Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change “COP22”, in 2016.

At the regional and international levels, Morocco has been able over the years to build strong diplomatic relations with African brother states. These relations which are based on an unshakable historical foundation, have permitted the establishment of secular links between Morocco and African countries covering the social, commercial, cultural, intellectual and spiritual dimensions.

The overall strategy of economic co-development has been initiated by Morocco, which intends to put its action in the long term with a view to sustainable development for the benefit of the African peoples and for the economic emergence of the continent.

Morocco's efforts in favor of Africa's development were crowned by its return to the African Union in January 2017. This triumphant return reflects a Moroccan vision in which South-South cooperation is the watchword.
