This first official act demonstrates Ambassador Buchan’s desire to immediately join the exceptional dynamic that characterizes Moroccan American relations, considered one of the oldest and most solid in the world.
As Washington and Rabat prepare to celebrate 250 years of friendship — a quarter millennium of alliance, mutual respect, and strategic cooperation — the new Ambassador expressed his enthusiasm for further strengthening this historic partnership under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
In an international context marked by unprecedented security, economic, and geopolitical challenges, the arrival of Duke Buchan III opens a promising new chapter for bilateral cooperation. The United States considers Morocco a major non-NATO ally, a reliable partner in the fight against terrorism, a stabilizing regional actor, and an emerging hub for investment and innovation.
Ambassador Buchan affirmed his determination to consolidate economic exchanges, stimulate American investment in the Kingdom, strengthen educational and cultural cooperation, and support the modernization dynamic led by Morocco.
With this solemn arrival, a deeply engaged, respectful, and future oriented American diplomacy is unfolding in Rabat.
This symbolic step once again confirms the strength of the Rabat–Washington axis, founded on trust, vision, and a 250 year old friendship — the longest continuous diplomatic relationship in United States history.
