Rabat - His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist Him, addressed a Speech to His Faithful people on Wednesday evening on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the Sovereign’s accession to the Throne of His Glorious Ancestors.
Here follows the full text of the Royal Speech:
"Dear Citizens,
It is with immense pride and great satisfaction that we celebrate the twenty-seventh anniversary of my accession to the throne.
Twenty-seven years have passed since Almighty God entrusted me with the mission of leading the nation. It is a momentous, sacred mission and a weighty responsibility.
I praise and thank the Almighty for the success and guidance He has bestowed upon me as I sought to fulfill your aspirations and respond to your concerns; Almighty God said: "If you are grateful, I will add (more favors) unto you".
I have never sought personal glory, or recognition of a leading role at the continental or international level. All that has ever mattered to me is to fulfil my duty and serve you, and to enable all Moroccans to live a free, dignified life.
Today, looking back at what we have accomplished together, I feel a mixture of pride in our achievements, and optimism for the future.
