Morocco’s dynamic reforms since King Mohammed VI’s accession to the throne have strengthened the Kingdom’s position on African and global stages, Rama Yade, Africa Director of the prominent American think-tank Atlantic Council, said.
“It’s over two decades of reforms that have consolidated Morocco’s place on the map, not only in Africa but in the rest of the world,” Yade said, adding that the Sovereign’s accession to the Throne is “remarkable in many respects.”
The former French Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and Human Rights pointed out continuous economic development, considerable improvements in the business climate and infrastructure, and significant increases in African investment happening during the Monarch Mohammed VI era.
She underlined that “Morocco has made undeniable economic and social progress,” adding that it is the result of three essential elements: integration into globalization, a reform strategy, and a proactive industrial strategy.
Yade also emphasized the virtuous reform dynamic launched by King Mohammed VI in the sphere of human rights, recalling the Kingdom’s “brilliantly won” election to the Presidency of the UN Human Rights Council.
“This is recognition of the King’s enlightened and humanistic vision,” she explained.
