In the elegant setting of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Belgrade, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco hosted a reception on Wednesday, 30 July 2025, to mark the 26th anniversary of the accession of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the throne
The event gathered numerous dignitaries, including representatives of the Serbian government, members of the diplomatic corps, businesspeople, academics, and friends of Morocco.
Speaking on behalf of the Embassy, Mrs. Aicha Sinaceur, Chargé d’affaires of the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco, addressed the guests, emphasising the symbolic and historical importance of the occasion. “This is a moment to celebrate the profound bond between the Moroccan people and the Alawite Throne, and to pay tribute to His Majesty’s visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to progress, unity, and prosperity,” she said.
Mrs. Sinaceur highlighted Morocco’s remarkable transformation over the past two decades, citing achievements in political reform, diplomacy, infrastructure, innovation, and economic development. She noted Morocco’s growing role as a reliable partner on the regional and global stage, committed to promoting peace, dialogue, and cooperation.
“Through strategic initiatives such as the Atlantic Initiative and major investments in renewable energy, logistics, and human capital, Morocco has emerged as a beacon of stability and a key investment destination,” she said, noting that in the first quarter of 2025 alone, the Kingdom attracted over USD 992 million in foreign direct investment, a 63.6% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
She also emphasised Morocco’s global engagement in tackling challenges such as climate change, terrorism, and migration, and celebrated its role as host of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and co-host of the 2030 FIFA World Cup.
On bilateral relations, Mrs. Sinaceur praised the strong and friendly ties between Morocco and Serbia, grounded in mutual respect and shared values, particularly the commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity. “Our cooperation continues to deepen across various fields—diplomatic, cultural, educational, and economic,” she noted.
She commended the work of the Morocco–Serbia Friendship Group, led by Dr. Muamer Bačevac, and acknowledged the dedication of the Morocco–Serbia Business Council Co-Presidents, who are actively fostering private sector collaboration.
In a special gesture, she congratulated Serbia on being chosen to host the EXPO 2027, calling it a testament to the country’s vision and international standing.
Mrs. Sinaceur also took the opportunity to thank the Moroccan community and students in Serbia for their role in strengthening the bonds between the two nations, and expressed appreciation for the work of former Ambassador H.E. Mohammed Amine Belhaj. She announced the upcoming arrival of the new Ambassador, H.E. Mr. Omar Amghar, who will continue to advance the bilateral relationship.
The speech concluded with a warm invitation for guests to enjoy Moroccan hospitality and cuisine, followed by a short video showcasing Morocco’s technological and industrial achievements.
Long live the King!
Long live Morocco!
Long live Serbia!
Long live the friendship between our two nations.
