Spanish radio station Capital Radio released a new report on Monday, highlighting the remarkable transformation Morocco has undergone in the past 25 years under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, driven by a vision of modernization and development across various sectors.
It underscored that the reign of Mohammed VI has been marked by advances in infrastructure, economic diversification, and greater international projection over the past quarter century, with Spain-Morocco relations reaching a positive state considered to be the best in decades.
The same source explained that the strengthening of Spain-Morocco relations is driven by growing interdependence in security and trade, with collaborative efforts in migration management, trade exchange, and bilateral investments being fundamental to this mutually beneficial partnership.
Historically, this relationship has been complex, it said, marked by geographical proximity and various political and social challenges.
However, the report argued that the 2008 economic crisis in Spain brought significant political shifts, including the emergence of new political parties like Podemos, Ciudadanos, and Vox, which sparked interest among the Moroccan elite regarding the implications for bilateral relations.
This crisis highlighted the need for enhanced cooperation in economic and social development, prompting both countries to focus on common interests and closer ties in recent years.
The report also showcased significant transformation over the past 25 years primarily driven by infrastructure modernization, including landmark projects like the Tanger Med port and the high-speed rail line.
The country’s commitment to renewable energy is exemplified by the Noor Solar Power Station, according to the same source, supporting a diversified economy with investments in the automotive sector.
It showcased that Morocco is also emerging as a center for electric battery production, aiming for 60% of exported vehicles to be electric by 2030.
The report also mentioned that Moroccan diplomacy has strengthened ties with the European Union and enhanced its presence in Africa, gaining international recognition for its sovereignty over the Sahara.
