Dakhla is the perfect embodiment of the Royal Vision for balanced, inclusive, and integrated development of the Kingdom, said the honorary president of the French Academy of Economic Intelligence, describing the city as a strategic hub in the making.

In a statement to MAP on the occasion of the Green March, Juillet stressed that urban and industrial development in the Dakhla region reflects “the success of a strategy consistently championed under the enlightened leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.”

“When I visited Dakhla for the first time, it was a small town on the coastline. Today, it is a large, modern city in expansion. It’s genuinely amazing,” he said.

The French expert noted the Royal determination to turn the city, through its future Atlantic port, into a landmark economic hub, particularly with the Royal initiative aiming to facilitate access for Sahel states to the Atlantic Ocean, which will “transform the region thoroughly, just like Tanger Med in northern Morocco.”

“What I’m witnessing today is really impressive, but it’s nothing compared to what Dakhla will be like in the years to come,” he said, noting the “notable dynamic” driven under the Sovereign’s leadership with the projects underway in the southern provinces.

Speaking about the Green March, Juillet recalled that this historic event represents an act of faith and sovereignty, adding that the Kingdom has reaffirmed through this landmark event what history had already proven centuries ago.
