Morocco’s ambassador to the United States, Youssef Amrani, presented, in an interview with the prestigious magazine “Leaders”, a comprehensive overview of Moroccan-U.S. relations, highlighting the remarkable rise of an exceptional alliance “which stands as a testament to enduring diplomatic ties”.
At a time when the geopolitical context requires global solutions and enhanced cooperation, the diplomat underscored the “crucial” importance of this multifaceted strategic partnership for regional stability and the development of proactive diplomacy, which not only promotes inclusive development, but also sustainable, shared and mutually beneficial growth.
“Our partnership in addressing global challenges like climate change through initiatives in renewable energy and sustainable development highlights the forward-looking nature of our relationship,” the ambassador pointed out in this interview with the US media, which is followed particularly by the microcosm of think tanks and other American political institutions.
Mr. Amrani noted that the horizon of interactions between the two countries at the political, diplomatic and economic levels is therefore naturally expanding, as it is driven by a bolstered will to reinforce our joint march towards more progress, innovation and active cooperation.
Addressing a readership made up in particular of investors and leaders in their respective sectors, the diplomat highlighted the several advantages of investing in Morocco, deeming the Kingdom “a gateway to over 2.3 billion consumers across Africa, Europe, and beyond.”
This prospect is attractive for several large U.S. companies as the Kingdom is the only African country having a free trade agreement with the United States, Mr. Amrani noted in this interview published in the latest issue of this quarterly magazine.
“All records and analyses point out that investing your capital in the Kingdom is a safe, lucrative, and convenient way to take full advantage of both a vibrant national market and even greater growth opportunities across the continent of Africa and neighboring Europe,” he said.
Between 2021 and 2024, the Moroccan Government signed over 170 investment agreements totaling approximately $21 billion, expected to create more than 115,000 jobs. These results show the Kingdom’s ability to attract and retain quality investments, thus strengthening its attractiveness on the international scene.
By highlighting the Kingdom’s assets, including its world-class infrastructure, such as the port of Dakhla, and its political stability, the ambassador underlined that these structuring achievements, complemented by bold economic reforms and a climate conducive to investment, are remarkable incentives that were applauded internationally by both investors and a wide range of fund providers and international financial institutions.
“We are today competing in some domains with so-called heavyweight countries, specifically in niche and highly technical domains of expertise,” the diplomat pointed out. “From aerospace to automotive, we’ve developed specialized industrial ecosystems supporting global supply chains,” he added.
Thanks to the vision of King Mohammed VI, Morocco is positioning itself as an essential platform for the global economy, meeting the most demanding international standards, while benefiting from a qualified and multilingual workforce, an ecosystem integrated into cutting-edge sectors, and an attractiveness that is matched only by the momentum of the structural transformations of its national economic fabric, the diplomat added.
The Royal vision sets the course of an irreversible choice for inclusive progress, oriented towards sustainable development and economic openness, said Mr Amrani, noting that Morocco “thus presents a unique platform that combines African and European dynamism and standards, creating an ideal launchpad for international expansion.”
