New delhi: In a statement to MAP-New Delhi on the occasion of the glorious Throne Day, Awwad underlined that the Kingdom’s strategic investments in infrastructure positioned it as an undeniable hub between Africa and Europe.
According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, eminent researcher and Vice President of the MENA-Telittoma Foundation, Awwad highlighted Morocco’s bold transition towards renewable energy as a clear Royal commitment to sustainable development and energy independence. He noted that, for other countries in the Global South, Morocco’s experience underscores the importance of coherent governance, regional integration, public-private partnerships, and a balanced approach to growth, environmental protection, and social cohesion.
The Moroccan model, he said, ‘offers valuable lessons on how to leverage geography, diversify the economy and invest in human capital to build a resilient and inclusive society.’ On the promotion of religious tolerance and the fight against extremism, Mr. Awwad praised Morocco’s approach under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, describing it as ‘thoughtful and strategic,’ aimed at promoting the values of tolerance, coexistence, and interfaith dialogue.
He added that institutions such as the Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams, Morchidines and Morchidates have become regional hubs for religious guidance across Africa, Europe, and Asia. Awwad also underscored the Kingdom’s multidimensional foreign policy, which is well adapted to an evolving multipolar world.
By actively engaging with Africa, the Arab world, Europe, and Asia, Morocco is broadening its economic and diplomatic partnerships while establishing itself as a strategic bridge between regions and civilizations, he pointed out.
