King Mohammed VI announced a major transformation in the management of Morocco's diaspora affairs, creating two main bodies to better serve Moroccans abroad. He emphasized streamlining procedures, enhancing cultural and linguistic ties, and boosting diaspora contributions to national investment.
King Mohammed VI marked the 49th anniversary of the Green March, emphasizing Morocco's established sovereignty over the Sahara and the region's ongoing development, stability, and global support. He also criticized those who cling to outdated positions on the Sahara issue and urged the UN to recognize the reality of Morocco's sovereignty in contrast to baseless claims.
King Mohammed VI welcomed the recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara by the United States and France, as well as support from numerous other countries for Morocco's autonomy plan for the region. He urged continued efforts to engage with the «small number of countries that persist in opposing the logic of law and denying the facts of history».
