In a speech on the occasion of the ceremony celebrating the 60th anniversary of the La Celle Saint Cloud agreements, read out by HRH Prince Moulay Rachid, HM the King affirmed that Morocco and France should continue to move forward together and to tap their brainpower and acumen to come up with innovative answers to the major issues that are of concern to the international community. 

 The sovereign commended the excellent coordination between Morocco and France in the fight against climate change, as illustrated by the "Tangier Call" issued with by His Majesty and President Francois Hollande last September.

 "As they build on a relationship rooted in trust, our two countries may want to consider joint initiatives in connection with such sensitive issues as that of "living together" and the increasingly alarming problems faced by migrants in European countries," the sovereign noted.

 HM the King said that, working jointly with France, the Kingdom of Morocco is seeking to sensitize young people about the perils of radicalism in particular, to promote tolerance and moderation and to discourage any extremist temptation. 

 The sovereign added that Morocco and France should see themselves as both the cornerstone of a stable, united and prosperous Euro-Mediterranean space and the engine for its construction.

 "It is the mission of both Morocco and France to be at the forefront of the new geopolitical forces shaping our region, and Africa should not be left out," the monarch underlined.

 The sovereign underscored that the La Celle Saint Cloud Agreements ushered in a new era in the history of our two countries.

 "This destiny shared by Morocco and France - two sovereign nations committed to mutual solidarity - is more relevant than ever. It is the best guarantee that our two nations will continue to make history in years to come, with confidence and constantly renewed ambition," the sovereign stressed.

 "The special bond uniting us in our common history is more than just a legacy. It is a living reality. And, more importantly, it is a promise for the future," His Majesty emphasized.

 The celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the La Celle Saint Cloud Agreements is one of the defining moments in the rich history shared by our two countries; it highlights the distinguishing feature of the strong bonds between our two nations, the sovereign said.
