King Mohammed VI of Morocco remarked that “building Morocco to the progress and dignity we want will only happen with the participation of all Moroccans, men and women, in the process of development. Therefore, we re-emphasize the need for the full participation of Moroccan women in all fields.” He noted that “since ascending the throne, we have sought to elevate the status of women, open up prospects for advancement and give them the status they deserve.”

During his Throne Day address to the nation, he called for “the revitalization of constitutional institutions dealing with the family and women’s rights and the renewal of national mechanisms and legislation to enhance their status”, stressing that “everyone must understand that empowering women with their rights does not mean that it will be at the expense of men.” It also does not mean that it will be at the expense of women, because Morocco’s progress still depends on the status of women and their active participation in various areas of development.”

The Moroccan king stated that “thanks to the concerted efforts of the state, public and private sectors, the national economy was able to withstand crises and fluctuations and achieved positive results in various productive sectors. However, the recovery phase did not last long. , due to current world conditions”, noting that “these foreign policy factors, in addition to the results of the modest agricultural season, have caused the prices of some basic inputs to rise, a problem that affects all countries.”

He stated: “Realizing the impact of these conditions on the lives of many categories of citizens, we have launched a national program to mitigate the effects of drought on farmers and people in the rural world. We have also instructed the government to allocate important funds to support the prices of some key materials and ensure their availability in the markets.”

He stressed that “our commitment to improving economic and social conditions does not match our continued commitment to addressing Morocco’s priorities at the regional and international levels. In this context, I emphasize once again that the borders separating two fraternal peoples, Moroccan and Algerian, will never be a border that closes the atmosphere of communication. Rather, we want them to be bridges that carry the future of Morocco and Algeria in their hands, and set an example for other peoples of the Maghreb.”

The sixth king also called on the Moroccans to “continue to demonstrate the values ​​of brotherhood, solidarity and good neighborliness that bind us to our Algerian brothers, to whom we assure that they will always find Morocco and the Moroccans on their side, in all circumstances and conditions, they do so irresponsibly, wishing ignite the fire of enmity between the two fraternal peoples.

He stressed that “what is said about Moroccan-Algerian relations is unfounded and heartbreaking, and we will not and will not allow anyone to offend our brothers and neighbors. With regard to the Moroccan people, we are striving to get out of this situation and promote rapprochement, communication and mutual understanding between the two peoples”, stating that “we look forward to cooperation with the Algerian presidency, the rapprochement of Morocco and Algeria, the establishment of normal relations between the two fraternal peoples, united historical and human ties. and common destiny.
