The Moroccan Embassy in Ghana on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, held a ceremony to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the King of Morocco, His Majesty King Mohammed VI since his ascension to the throne 25 years ago.
The Moroccan Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Mrs. Imane Ouaadil used the occasion to highlight the great transformation of the North African nation under the reign of King Mohammed VI.
Speaking at the Moroccan National Day event at the Movenpick Ambassador Hotel in Accra, Her Excellency Ouaadil presented a long list of changes that have taken place in various sectors that have repositioned and strengthened the Moroccan economy.
According to her, King Mohammed VI is a symbol of national union and cohesion which characterize the links between the Moroccan people and the people and Alaouite Throne, adding that the 25th-anniversary celebration “pays tribute to the remarkable transformation the Kingdom has experienced under his Majesty’s leadership over the past 25 years.”
She noted that since ascending the throne in 1999, King Mohammed VI has led Morocco through an ambitious economic and social transformation.
“Over the past 25 years, Morocco, a thousand-year-old country, at the crossroads of cultures, has experienced remarkable economic growth and structural reforms have been implemented to innovate, attract foreign investment, and modernize infrastructure.”
Ghana’s Minister of State at the Ministry of Energy, Herbert Krapa, extended the government’s felicitations to the Moroccan people on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their King and acknowledged Ghana’s economic and cultural ties with the North African nation.
The colourful and brief event attracted people from all walks of life including high commissioners/ambassadors, other members of the diplomatic community, government officials, traditional rulers and public figures who were treated to cultural displays from Ghanaian cultural troupes.
Participants had the chance to experience a taste of Moroccan meals and pastries, after watching a brief video of the North African country and the work that has taken place in that country under the leadership of King Mohammed VI in 25 years and where the country is headed in the years ahead.
Both Ghanaian and Moroccan national anthems were played at the event depicting the longstanding relationship between Ghana and Morocco.
