A new Consulate General of Morocco was inaugurated Monday in Miami, Florida, in the presence of a host of US dignitaries and local elected officials, as well as several members of the Moroccan community living in the southern region of the United States.
This consulate, which serves the Moroccan community established in nearly twenty states across the southern part of the USA, is fully in line with the high guidelines of HM King Mohammed VI aimed at meeting the expectations of Moroccans living abroad with a proximity and efficiency approach.
Speaking on this occasion, Moroccan ambassador to the United States Youssef Amrani emphasized that the opening of this consulate shows “the Kingdom’s deep attachment to its community abroad, and a clear desire to support it with proximity, efficiency, and dignity.”
The Miami consulate is fully in line with His Majesty the King’s vision for a profound reform of public policies for Moroccans around the world, Amrani noted, adding that through this approach, the Kingdom “strengthens, maintains, and energizes unbreakable ties between Moroccans around the world and their motherland.”
Underlining that this structure will serve as both an “administrative hub, a listening center, and a strong symbol of the bond” between Morocco and its citizens, the ambassador added that it also reflects an “act of trust in a remarkable community, an act of faith in a shared future, and renewed proof of the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to this community.”
For her part, the Morocco’s Consul General in Miami, Chafika El Habti, stated that the consulate is designed with a forward-looking modernization in mind, affirming that consular services are focused primarily on digitalization and e-administration.
“This is a real added value, as the consular reach of this consulate extends from Florida to California, thus covering some twenty states,” said El Habti, who underscored the importance of digitizing services for the Moroccans residing in these states.
The establishment of a consulate in Miami, the consul maintained, represents a “real breakthrough” for the Kingdom, given the economic dynamism and cultural openness that characterize this city, considered a “hub for South and Latin America,” thus facilitating cooperation between the two sides of the Atlantic.
Speaking to MAP, many Moroccans residing in Miami expressed their satisfaction at the opening of a consulate in this region, home to thousands of their fellow citizens who are unwaveringly attached to their motherland.
Expressing their particular appreciation of the digitalization of several consular services, they further expressed the view that such a structure only strengthens ties with Morocco and reflects the solicitude with which His Majesty King Mohammed VI has consistently surrounded the Moroccan community living abroad.
The inauguration ceremony of the new consulate was attended by several US officials, including Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, Hollywood Mayor Josh Levy and Boynton Beach Mayor Rebecca Shelton.
