France’s ambassador to Morocco,opened the evening with a powerful message:
“Together,Morocco and France,we are not afraid of ambition. We are determined to ‘think big.’ In a world in crisis,in a region searching for direction,we are going to build something truly unique,” he said.
“In the Sahara,France has matched words with action across all areas of cooperation: education,culture,economy,development projects,and visas. Starting this year,residents of the southern provinces will have access to the same services and support from us as those in other Moroccan regions,” he said.
