According to Sir Liam Fox, President of the UK’s Abraham Accords Group and a former senior British minister, King Mohammed VI’s speech at the opening of Morocco’s new parliamentary session signals more than just a continuation of development—it marks a decisive push toward accelerated and inclusive national transformation.
In Sir Fox’s view, the King’s message leaves no room for ambiguity. It’s a clear call to not only maintain the development trajectory but to amplify it, while ensuring that progress is both socially and geographically balanced. He commended the address for its focus on marrying economic growth with social responsibility, highlighting the need for a unified national effort to achieve tangible results.
What stood out to him in particular was the emphasis on a broader vision of development—one that goes beyond roads and infrastructure to embrace core human needs such as housing, education, healthcare, and employment. This approach, he noted, puts citizens at the heart of the country’s future and calls on all national institutions to work together toward shared goals.
Sir Fox also pointed to Morocco’s increasing appeal on the international stage. With its sustained stability and proactive economic policies, the country has become an attractive hub for foreign direct investment. International partners, he said, recognize both the opportunities that Morocco offers and its strategic importance in maintaining regional and global stability.
He concluded by emphasizing that the direction outlined by King Mohammed VI requires a stronger commitment from all political actors. Turning this royal vision into swift, effective policy, he said, is not just desirable—it’s essential to meet the ambitious goals laid out for Morocco’s future.
