This is a “longstanding and strong” relationship, which is “just going to be even stronger as we continue forth”, Fischer said, adding that the 26th anniversary of the enthronement of HM King Mohammed VI “really heralds a wonderful time between the United States and the Kingdom of Morocco.”
Fischer said ties between Washington and Rabat reflect a “long history of deep understanding of trade, of balanced relationships,” adding that “that’s what we build on to go forward.”
The U.S. former ambassador hailed Morocco’s efforts, under the leadership of HM the King, “to export a peaceful faith, trying to take the world and calm it down and build on trusted friendships,” in a “fractious” and “broken” world that counts “more fighting than we should have.”
Turning to the achievements made in Morocco’s Southern Provinces, the diplomat hailed the “continued investment,” and the “opportunities” they create.
Fischer also noted Morocco’s across-the-board progress during HM the King’s reign, in fields such as healthcare, education and the business life. “When you look at Morocco today (…) we are seeing much more opportunity for people than existed 30 years ago.”
King Mohammed VI’s reign, the ambassador summed, has seen “strong focus on modernization, social reform, responsible leadership and religious moderation.”
This, Fischer continued, has enabled the north-African country to be “leading the region” and “strengthened Morocco’s role as a key player throughout Africa.”
