“Morocco is unanimously perceived as a pillar and a point of reference in a very troubled world,” Moutchou said in an interview with MAP-Paris on the occasion of the celebration of the glorious Throne Day, noting that it is “quite fascinating to see that the Kingdom, which has been able to combine tradition and modernity, constitutes a sort of heading for many countries.”
Praising the “bold” reforms carried out under the Sovereign’s impetus, the French deputy highlighted the institutional stability of the Kingdom and the remarkable evolution recorded in numerous areas, particularly access to healthcare, education, energy transition and security.
For Moutchou, “Throne Day is not only an institutional moment, but also a moment of pride for Moroccans to see their country evolve in stability and prosperity.”
Evoking the relations between Morocco and France, the Vice-President of the National Assembly noted that the two countries are today living “an unprecedented moment.”
“It is clear that today, we are living an unprecedented moment since we are in a new cycle of relations between our two countries. We are, as the President of the Republic said, in the process of writing, not a new chapter, a new book, but a new story,” Moutchou said.
She recalled that “the reinforced exceptional partnership between France and Morocco is an unprecedented framework that opens up enormous prospects for our two countries, particularly fundamental projects in all sectors.”
The French deputy announced that there is “a momentum opening up with the Southern Provinces” thanks to the “powerful” position of France to support Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara.
“France will support this momentum both at the European and international levels so that others will also join this momentum,” Moutchou said, highlighting the role of parliamentary diplomacy.
The Vice-President of the National Assembly said, in the same context, that the legislative institutions are working on both sides to organize a major inter-parliamentary forum in Morocco by the end of the year which will be a great moment of parliamentary diplomacy.
Commenting on the co-organization by Morocco of the 2030 World Cup, Moutchou stressed that it is a “natural and common sense” decision.
“Morocco is a great country that has great infrastructure. It is also a great football Nation. It is the candidacy of a country that has assets and that met the conditions. It was not a surprise, but a great satisfaction,” Moutchou noted.
She added that “Morocco is one of those great Nations in the world that are capable of organizing major events,” hoping that France can contribute to Morocco in supporting this challenge.
