“Where others have deliberated, Morocco has delivered.” As Morocco celebrates 20 years of Mohammed VI’s reign, observers are heaping praise on the kingdom. Rabat- As Morocco prepares to celebrate King Mohammed VI’ twenty years in power, international observers are chiming in to praise the political reforms and socio-economic transformations Morocco has seen over the past two decades. In a recent opinion article for Daily Maverick, one of South Africa’s leading newspapers, Gregg Mills of the Benthurst Foundation, a Johannesburg-based think tank, extolled the transformations that have taken place in Morocco under King Mohammed’s guidance. King Mohammed, Mills wrote, has propelled Morocco into the category of countries whose impressive changes in recent years mean they have gradually become of enormous importance in regional and global affairs. Another ingredient in Morocco’s “positive cycle” under King Mohammed VI’s direction has been the development of Morocco’s foreign relations by solidifying relationships with traditional partners and investing in new friendships.
