 Royal Vision
Towards growth and development
‘‘Today, we are witnessing the dawn of a new revolution - one in which
we seek to rise to the challenge of completing the construction of
modern Morocco; a revolution through which we aim to give Moroccans
the place they deserve in life, especially our young people, whom I have
always regarded as the country’s true wealth.’’

Royal Speech on 65th Anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People

‘‘Our action is not limited to simply facing up to the current epidemic. We

also aim to address its social and economic effects by building on a
comprehensive, future-oriented approach and by drawing lessons from
this experience.’’

Royal Speech to the Nation on Occasion of Throne Day, 29 July 2020
