Brussels: Under the impetus of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco has undertaken deep transformations and strengthened its modernization and development, while respecting its plural identity, Geoffroy Generet, Honorary President of the Cercle Royal Gaulois, stated. ‘Morocco, a country in motion and resolutely future-oriented, continues its calm and ambitious progress to face the challenges of the 21st century, thanks to the balanced approach of His Majesty the King, which combines modernity and cultural rootedness, while preserving what constitutes its wealth: its identity, stability, and resilience,’ said the head of this prestigious Belgian institution founded in 1847.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, in an interview with MAP-Brussels on the occasion of the 26th anniversary of the accession of HM King Mohammed VI to the Throne, Generet emphasized that the manifestations of this evolution are countless. In this regard, he highlighted the strengthening of Moroccan democratic institutions, particul
arly with the adoption of the 2011 Constitution, which expanded public freedoms and consolidated human rights and the stability of the Kingdom ‘in an often-troubled regional context,’ as well as the multiplication of large-scale projects and initiatives that have enabled the country to diversify its economy and establish itself as ‘a major diplomatic player.’
Generet paid particular attention to Morocco’s model of a social State, noting that this approach, which reconciles economic development with social inclusion, represents ‘a strategic and appropriate response to structural challenges.’ ‘The broad initiative to generalize social protection, launched by the Sovereign, is part of a development logic centered on the human being’ and constitutes ‘a major advancement that will reduce inequalities in access to healthcare and affirm human dignity,’ he noted, emphasizing that the proactive management of the COVID-19 crisis, the Al Haouz earthquake, and the current uncertain global context demonstrates that Moroc
co is developing ‘a remarkable capacity for foresight and adaptation.’
‘The social State model that Morocco is building embodies a modern vision in which economic growth is not achieved at the expense of social justice, but in synergy with it,’ he said. He also highlighted the reform of the Family Code, which he considers ‘a major step toward greater gender equality.’
‘This is a balanced reform that demonstrates Moroccan society’s capacity to embrace modernity without forfeiting its spiritual foundations,’ Generet noted. The approach driven by HM King Mohammed VI allows the Kingdom to stand out through a ‘unique civilizational positioning, which gives it a natural vocation as a bridge between cultures, continents, and worldviews,’ he stated, noting that ‘this role as a link takes on increased strategic, ethical, and diplomatic significance in an international context marked by growing tensions.’
‘As a model of coexistence of diverse cultural currents, Morocco has historically maintained balanced relations
while upholding a moderate stance based on non-interference and the promotion of dialogue,’ he emphasized. He concluded by stating that ‘Morocco, with its stability, African roots, vision of co-development, and diplomatic credibility, is a partner of choice for building a Euro-Mediterranean space of prosperity, security, and shared values.’
