King Mohammed VI of Morocco urges new MPS to prioritize action over titles

King Mohammed VI of Morocco has called upon newly elected parliamentarians to view their roles as genuine commitments, rather than merely titles. During the opening of the twelfth legislative term in Rabat, the King emphasized that true love for the nation involves taking action at the local level. "Pride in one's homeland is not about boasting or self-satisfaction; it is the driving force that transforms a sense of belonging into responsibility and confidence into a national duty," he stated.

The monarch urged Moroccans to develop new strategies focusing on artificial intelligence, technological growth, and resource security. He challenged local businesses to take risks and create more employment opportunities. King Mohammed VI stressed that young people must be central to his government's efforts, advocating for improved education and career paths to ensure a stable and dignified future for the younger generation.

Addressing bureaucratic delays, the King made it clear that any further stalling on regional empowerment is unacceptable. "Today, we need to regulate the relationship between the State and the Regions, and establish mechanisms for coordination and contracting to enable the Regions to make decisions and implement projects," he insisted, pressing for local leaders to receive the necessary tools.

On foreign relations and migration, the King noted Morocco's readiness to be a dependable partner, but highlighted how outdated legal obstacles abroad hinder progress. He reaffirmed the country's stance against outside interference, emphasizing that cooperation will never be subject to any pressure, threat, or blackmail.
