King Mohammed VI Appoints Nasser Bourita as Minister Delegate to Foreign Minister
King Mohammed VI appointed on Saturday in the southern city of Laayoune, Nasser Bourita, as Minister Delegate to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation.
The Moroccan diplomat Nasser Bourita was born May 27, 1969 in Taounate. After a degree in public law (international relations) from Rabat Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences in Rabat in 1991, Mr. Bourita earned a Certificate in International Relations (1993), then a Master’s degree in Public International Law (1995).
In 2002, Bourita held the position of Head of the Principal Organs of the United Nations service before being appointed Adviser to the Morocco Mission to the European Communities in Brussels (2002-2003).
From December 2003 to 2006, he was appointed Chief of the Division of the United Nations and between 2006-2009 he was appointed Director of the United Nations and International Organizations at the Foreign Ministry .
Mr. Bourita held the position of Chief of Cabinet of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ambassador, Director General of Multilateral Relations and Global Cooperation.
Since 2011, he was appointed Secretary General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, a position he held until his appointment by the King, Minister Delegate to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation. Bourita is married with two children.
The recent appointment was perceived by several observers as an promotion to the eminent diplomat Bourita – experienced and unanimously appreciated- has successfully accomplished his duties either as a director or a secretary general, but also a royal assessment to support the diplomatic policy making of the kingdom, by strengthening the proactive strategy of Moroccan diplomacy, and enriches the foreign policy making of the kingdom , since the nomination of Mr. Bourita alongside Mr Mezouar and Mrs. Bouaida would absolutely consolidate the restructuring of the Moroccan diplomatic apparatus.
