Rabat: In a statement to MAP, Tavares said that Morocco’s role as a stabilizing force in the Maghreb and Africa makes the Kingdom a trusted partner for African countries, Europe, the Arab world, and beyond.

According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the former Cape Verdean foreign minister emphasized that in a period marked by major geopolitical changes, Morocco stands out on the global stage as an emerging and modern country. This status is attributed to the visionary leadership within the Kingdom.

Furthermore, the Royal Speech provided a clear vision of the current state of affairs and a thorough assessment of the challenges facing Morocco. Tavares noted that there is a strong focus on achieving integrated development and upholding the principle of territorial equity.

In this context, His Majesty the King underscored the economic advancements achieved by Morocco, particularly through the New Development Model. However, he also acknowledged the persistent disparities, especially in rural areas.

Tavares highlighted that the clarity of the Royal Speech’s assessment demonstrates the Sovereign’s firm commitment to tackling these inequalities. This commitment is reflected in the initiation of a new generation of territorial development programs aimed at promoting territorial and spatial justice and enhancing productive inclusion.

He concluded by stating that the Royal Speech is a significant milestone due to the strength of its message, beyond the formality of the occasion.
