Referring to the Green March, Mr. Al-Ajlaoui pointed out that the decision to organize this epic was a decisive turning point in the history of Morocco and the region, and enabled a profound change in the geopolitical balance of power.
For her part, the Moroccan-Italian journalist and writer, Karima Moual, highlighted the great importance of the UN resolution that was adopted in conjunction with the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Green March, considering that it undoubtedly opens a new phase for the Moroccan Sahara and the entire region.
Ms. Moual believes that this resolution strengthens the Kingdom's position as an indispensable actor and a source of stability, especially in the Sahel region and the southern Mediterranean basin.
After highlighting Morocco's leadership in the region, the fruit of effective diplomacy and a voluntary development policy wisely led by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, she stressed that the southern provinces are witnessing a profound transformation on the economic and social levels, thanks to structured projects and huge investments in various sectors.
