Morocco's king commits to 'sincere dialogue' with Algeria
The king of Morocco has reiterated his commitment to nurturing good relations with Algeria, in a speech marking his 26th anniversary on the throne. "Morocco is open to sincere dialogue with Algeria over a number of topics," King Mohammed VI said. Morocco's administration of the Sahara region has strained relations with its neighbour. Algeria rejects Moroccan sovereignty over the region and cut diplomatic relations with Morocco in 2021. In his Throne Day speech, King Mohammed VI said his 'position is clear' when it comes to Algeria. 'The Algerian people are a sibling nation, who share with the people of Morocco deep-rooted human and historical ties,' the monarch said. 'The two people are connected through language, religion, geography and a shared fate.' King Mohammed VI said his country's commitment to extending a hand to Algeria comes from believing in their 'unity and ability to overcome this tragic situation'. Last month, the UK backed Morocco's plan for the Sahara region to have autonomy under the country's sovereign rule, reversing Britain's long-standing position. London previously backed self-determination for the region, which Morocco has said is an integral part of its kingdom. The UK's shift made it the third permanent member of the UN Security Council to back Morocco's position, after France and the US. Spain and Germany also back the autonomy plan. UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy called Morocco's plan 'the most credible, viable and pragmatic' path forward. The plan, presented to the UN Security Council in 2007, allows the region to have autonomy under Morocco's sovereign rule. It would have its own parliament and manage its budget, while Rabat would maintain overall sovereignty and control over defence and foreign relations. The region would retain the Moroccan flag, national anthem and currency. Algeria said it 'regrets' Britain's decision and criticised the autonomy plan, calling it 'empty of content'. The UN has classified the Sahara region, home to more than 600,000 people, as a 'non-self-governing territory' since 1963 and says the issue needs to be resolved through a political process involving all parties.

Morocco's Religious Model Under Royal Leadership Gains Grounds in Latin America
The Secretary General of the Latin American League of Religious Scholars, Sadiq Al-Othmani, praised Morocco's religious model of moderation, noting its expanding influence in Latin America as a bulwark against extremist rhetoric. Under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Commander of the Faithful, this model has established itself as a benchmark well beyond Africa, reaching as far as Latin America, he explained. In an interview with MAP-Brasilia on the occasion of the Throne Day celebrations, Al-Othmani, who is also director of religious affairs for the Federation of Islamic Institutions in Brazil, emphasized that the Moroccan model is based on the Commandery of the Faithful, the Maliki rite, the Achaari doctrine, and Sunni Sufism. The Latin American official pointed out that these foundations have proven their resilience and adaptability to societal changes over centuries." In his view, this enables the Kingdom to remain deeply rooted in its heritage while addressing modern-day challenges through dialogue with diverse cultures. He underscored the pivotal role of the Commandery of the Faithful as the guardian of Morocco's religious foundations and the protector of its spiritual security. Notably, the Commandery of the Faithful signifies that the Head of State is entrusted with the stewardship of both the religious and worldly affairs of the nation. This institution, he noted, safeguards the independence of the religious sphere and shields it from exploitation. He also underscored the efforts of institutions such as the Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams Morchidines and Morchidates, and the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Ulemas, which promote a moderate Islam grounded in scientific approach, both within Morocco and beyond its borders.

Under HM the King's Leadership, Morocco Accomplished Significant Achievements in Several Fields
Under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco accomplished significant and major achievements in several fields, Speaker of the Gabonese National Assembly, Jean-François Ndongou, said. In a statement to MAP on the occasion of the glorious Throne Day, Ndongou underlined that since the accession of His Majesty the King to the Throne, Morocco has experienced development across the board and achieved remarkable achievements, pointing out that the Sovereign engaged an ambitious policy of structural reforms aiming to turn the Kingdom into a key regional, continental and international actor. 'Morocco's development under the leadership of HM the King is truly remarkable. We are proud of what Morocco has achieved in all areas,' he said, noting that this development is particularly evident in the economic, agricultural, energy, social, sports, and cultural sectors, as well as in infrastructure. Morocco has modern rail, road, and port infrastructure that is among the best in Africa, explained Ndongou, highlighting the modernization of the rail network, particularly the high-speed line, the first of its kind in Africa. For the Gabonese official, one of the main examples of the progress made by the Kingdom is the Tanger Med Port, which has become one of the best port infrastructures in the world. 'This logistics hub contributes greatly to the intensification of cooperation between African countries in the port sector,' he said. Ndongou also praised the pioneering royal initiatives for the development of the African continent, notably the Royal Initiative to promote access for Sahel countries to the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline Project, which he said demonstrates the Kingdom's firm commitment to stability, progress, and prosperity in Africa.
