Thanks to Royal Vision, Morocco Has Become Constructive Regional Power – Ambassador

Thanks to the royal vision, Morocco is unquestionably a constructive regional power, respectful of good neighborliness and forever in solidarity with brotherly and friendly countries, the Kingdom’s ambassador to Senegal, Hassan Naciri, said on Saturday in Dakar. Presenting his book entitled “The foreign policy of the Kingdom of Morocco from independence to the present day: Foundations, influences and geopolitical changes”, at a ceremony organized by the Moroccan Embassy in Dakar, in partnership with the Pan-African Institute for Strategy, Peace, Security and Governance (IPS), Naciri stressed that the Kingdom enjoys a singular and strategic geopolitical influence and has spanned the millennia by adapting to its environment and coping with mutations as complex as they are constraining. In the immediate aftermath of independence, the recovery of national sovereignty was the priority of Moroccan diplomacy, said the diplomat, adding that subsequently, the completion of territorial integrity is still the top priority. This practice has made it possible to establish a realistic foreign policy, constant in its principles and evolving in style and strategy. He stressed that under the reign of HM King Mohammed VI, Morocco’s foreign policy has been pursued and enriched with an “even more committed doctrine and a more effective style” in terms of completing territorial integrity, based on “realism, clarity and firmness”, as evidenced by the Moroccan initiative to establish an autonomy status for the Moroccan Sahara provinces in 2007 and the new development model for the southern provinces adopted in 2015.
