Morocco’s King Mohammed VI to Pay Official Visit to Tunisia
King Mohammed VI will pay an official visit to the Republic of Tunisia, on May 30 to June 1, 2014, at the invitation of President Mohamed Moncef Marzouki, the ministry of the Royal Household, Protocol and Chancellery announced on Tuesday in a statement.
During this royal visit, the Moroccan King will hold official talks with the President of Tunisia.
The two heads of states will chair the signing ceremony of bilateral agreements related to the public and private sectors. King Mohammed VI will also give a speech before the members of the constituent national assembly.
President Mohamed Moncef Marzouki will offer a dinner in honor of King Mohammed and the accompanying delegation.
Morocco has made great efforts, recognized by the international community, toward democratization, rule of law, social justice and economic prosperity. Therefore, the Moroccan process should serve as a model for other North African states as they attempt to evolve into freely elected democracies.
During their upcoming conversation, the two leaders will stress the potential for economic development between Tunisia and Morocco and the opportunities now open for regional integration. Both Morocco and Tunisia are already trade partners in phosphate and other commodities, but both also are burdened with high unemployment, especially among their well-educated graduate populations. Both economic and political intra-government decision-making might now benefit both countries.
Tunisia, as well as other states in the Maghreb have much to learn from the Morocco experience, and can benefit by the example of King Mohammed’s political, economic, and religious reforms, which can provide new impetus to both countries and reinforce their bilateral relationship, while improving opportunities for economic development and political reform throughout North Africa.
