The leadership of King Mohammed VI and his steadfast commitment to promoting the values of tolerance, inter-religious dialogue and coexistence at home and abroad stand as a distinctive feature of Morocco in the last two decades. King Mohammed VI has called on multiple occasions for working together to achieve a new world order for peace while stressing the need for coexistence and acceptance of diversity and difference. In 2010, King Mohammed VI initiated a program to refurbish hundreds of ancient synagogues and Jewish cemeteries scattered throughout Morocco. King Mohammed VI has also encouraged monotheists to pool efforts to fight terrorism, which is sparing no community and no country. The North African Kingdom continues to expand women’s rights under the leadership of King Mohammed VI who has approved a motion, allowing women to become “Adouls”, public notary officials, a profession traditionally held by men.
