For the first time, Casablanca hosted the Victoria Forum – Casablanca Round 2025, marking a significant milestone as the event was held outside Canada for the first time. Focused on inclusion, resilience, and intercultural dialogue, the forum brought together leaders and experts from diverse backgrounds, all committed to building a more equitable and united world.

A key highlight of the event was the participation of the Morocco-Canada Business Council (CAMC), represented by Amal Alami. In her address, she emphasized the importance of strengthening economic and cultural ties between the two countries, underscoring Morocco’s strategic role as an African hub and a key partner for Canada.

In her speech, Her Excellency Isabelle Valois, Canada’s Ambassador to Morocco, stressed the importance of intercultural dialogue in fostering strong and inclusive partnerships. “Our world is more connected than ever. By building solid partnerships and sharing common values, we can create a more resilient and inclusive global community,” she stated.

Saul Klein, Executive Director of the Victoria Forum, reinforced this message, reminding participants of their shared vision. “We all aspire to the same goal: making the world a better place,” he said.

This edition of the Victoria Forum in Casablanca was supported by ESCA School of Management under the leadership of Thami Ghorfi, who helped create an environment conducive to meaningful discussions and strategic reflections. The involvement of academic institutions in such initiatives highlights their crucial role in developing sustainable solutions to global challenges.
