Marking the 27th anniversary of his accession to the Throne, the King outlined the broad priorities that should guide the next government, urging it to build on the continuity of ongoing public policies while opening a new chapter in Morocco’s national development.

"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," the King said.

The Sovereign stressed that Morocco’s progress is the result of a long-term strategic vision and a model of governance built on anticipation, rigorous oversight of public action, constructive self-assessment, and a sustained commitment to preparing for the future.

"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," he said.

King Mohammed VI also stated that Morocco is entering a decisive stage in its development journey. In that context, he called for confidence and optimism to prevail over “despair and frustration.”

The Sovereign further highlighted one of the Kingdom’s greatest accomplishments: its security, stability, and the effective functioning of its public institutions.

“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,” the King said.
