Here follows the full text of His Majesty the King’s Message:


“Mr. President of the Republic,


It is with interest that I received the important Message You addressed to Me on the occasion of the 25th Throne Day anniversary.

I would like to thank You for Your warm wishes and Your personal commitment to strengthening partnership between Our two countries.

I am particularly pleased with the clear and strong position adopted by France, in Your Message, on the Moroccan Sahara issue.

I fully appreciate Your country’s clear support for Morocco’s sovereignty over this part of its territory, the resolute French support for autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty to settle this regional dispute, thereby establishing the plan proposed by Morocco, since 2007, as the only basis for achieving it.

By recognizing Morocco's legal titles and immemorial rights, France contributes in strengthening the international momentum that many countries are already supporting and thus putting an end to a conflict inherited from another era.

Thanks to the significant development of the French position and Your determination to act accordingly at internal and international levels, Our two countries will work together to reach a solution that, within the framework of the United Nations, fully respects Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara.

The Moroccan people and its vital forces are fully aware of the importance of this decision, adopted by a permanent member of the Security Council, an intimate connoisseur of the past and present of North Africa and a privileged witness to the development of this regional dispute.

In this context, and thanks to the positive momentum that Our bilateral relations are experiencing, promising prospects are opening up for Our two countries in many strategic sectors, making it possible to strengthen the exceptional partnership built over decades on friendship and trust.

In this regard, and as was mentioned during Our previous discussions, I will be happy to receive You in Morocco within the framework of a State Visit, the dates of which will be determined through diplomatic channels.

Please accept, Mr. President, the assurance of My highest consideration.”
