Rabat – King Mohammed VI will deliver a speech tonight commemorating the 26th anniversary of his accession to the Throne.
In a statement earlier today, the Ministry of the Royal Household, Protocol and Chancellery announced that Morocco’s television channels and national radios will broadcast the speech starting at 9 p.m. Moroccan time.
The ministry said the King will also preside over the ceremony commemorating the Throne Day on Wednesday and Thursday.
On Wednesday afternoon, the monarch will chair a reception at the prefecture square of M’diq-Fnideq in the city of M’Diq.
The following day, the monarch will preside over the oath-taking ceremony at the Mechouar square in the royal palace in Tetouan. During the ceremony, new officers from various military, paramilitary, and civilian schools and institutes will swear allegiance before the King.
The monarch will also offer a luncheon on Thursday.
King Mohammed VI ascended to the throne on July 30, 1999, following the death of his father, the late King Hassan II.
Under his leadership, Morocco witnessed waves of reforms, contributing to socio-economic development and infrastructure revamping.
Every year, King Mohammed VI addresses Morocco’s people with speeches tackling several topics from Morocco’s momentum in the Western Sahara dossier to the socio-political and economic challenges the country is committed to addressing.
Last year, the monarch’s speech focused on renewing his commitment to the Moroccan diaspora.
In the speech, he re-instructed the government to enhance efforts in supporting diaspora projects and facilitating administrative procedures to facilitate and accompany their business ventures in Morocco.
