INTERPOL President Ahmed Nasser Al-Raisi on Friday praised Morocco’s security institutions as a regional and global model in modern policing and human rights, citing their “professionalism, effectiveness, and unwavering commitment to stability under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.”

Speaking at the official opening of the 6th edition of the Open Days of the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) in El Jadida, Al-Raisi highlighted the evolution of Morocco’s security framework, emphasizing its integration of professional performance and respect for human rights.

“Morocco’s security forces have demonstrated their ability to respond to escalating global challenges while reinforcing the foundations of security and stability,” said Al-Raisi, noting that the country has been a key member of INTERPOL for nearly 70 years.

He lauded Morocco’s active role in international security cooperation, particularly in combating terrorism, human trafficking, drug smuggling, and organized crime. “The Kingdom has played a pivotal role in supporting global security initiatives and strengthening mechanisms of international police collaboration,” Al-Raisi added.

The INTERPOL head also praised the appointment of Moroccan security chief Mohamed Dkhissi as Vice President of INTERPOL for Africa, describing it as a reflection of growing international confidence in Moroccan law enforcement.

He further welcomed Morocco’s preparations to host the 93rd INTERPOL General Assembly in Marrakech, calling it “a culmination of sustained reforms and modernization in the national police force.”

Mohamed Ben Ali Koman, Secretary-General of the Council of Arab Interior Ministers, echoed these sentiments at the same event, asserting that Moroccan security institutions have advanced in lockstep with the country’s rapid development.

“This progress reflects the attention His Majesty the King pays to the security and well-being of Moroccan citizens,” Koman said, adding that initiatives like the Open Days foster trust and communication between the police and the public.

Koman also described Morocco’s policing model as a source of inspiration, particularly in integrating community-oriented practices with the promotion of human rights and improved living conditions.

Held at the Mohammed VI Exhibition Center in El Jadida under the theme “Proud to Serve a Noble Nation and a Glorious Throne,” the Open Days run through May 21 and aim to showcase the mission, sacrifices, and modernization of Morocco’s national police force. The event reflects the DGSN’s commitment to transparency, citizen outreach, and ongoing institutional development, in line with royal directives.
