Tetouan – “None of our achievements was a matter of chance. Our accomplishments were all the result of clear strategic direction and of a mode of governance based on entrepreneurship, meticulous follow-up, constructive self-criticism, and positive, resolute policies turned to the future,” HM King Mohammed VI stated.
In His Speech addressed Wednesday evening to His faithful people on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the Sovereign’s accession to the Throne of His Glorious Ancestors, His Majesty the King affirmed that “today, looking back at what we have accomplished together, I feel a mixture of pride in our achievements, and optimism for the future.”
“This is not so much a note of self-satisfaction as it is a positive feeling rooted in confidence and peacefulness – a feeling that gives me the strength and motivation to press ahead with my efforts,” His Majesty the King said.
The Sovereign underlined that Morocco is today at a pivotal moment of its development; a time when confidence and optimism should prevail over despair and frustration.
“What gives us the greatest sense of pride and satisfaction is the security and stability enjoyed by Morocco, as well as the efficiency and effectiveness of state institutions,” HM the King commended, adding that in a regional and international environment with no shortage of fluctuations and upheavals, political and institutional stability is a rare, priceless commodity.
Today, the Sovereign continued, stability is the key element in the development equation in Morocco, as it is the strategic asset cherished in the country.
Highlighting that Morocco, a country with a long history, derives its strength from its deep-rooted traditions as a nation-state – one in which institutions play their role in an environment characterized by harmony and integration, HM the King stated that “this is what gives the state the necessary resolve to carry out its work, build upon achievements, and rise to challenges, regardless of the difficulties and constraints.”
In this regard, the Kingdom has demonstrated its efficiency through the excellent organization of continental and international events, His Majesty the King pointed out, noting that such a mastery earned the country the respect and admiration of the world, and, at times, aroused the envy of some.
The Sovereign further stated that Morocco has demonstrated a considerable capacity to deal with disasters and crises, particularly through the proactive measures taken, for instance, to address the floods that affected the western and northern regions of our country.
Moreover, His Majesty the King maintained that the economic and social gains achieved transcend governmental and parliamentary timeframes, adding that they are the result of years of positive developments and policies, thanks to strategic planning and the pertinence of the major choices made by Morocco.
“Following the upcoming legislative elections and the formation of a new government, I will be looking forward to launching a new cycle in our country’s development process, the aim being to consolidate the gains made and continue to implement major projects and reforms,” His Majesty the King underlined.
