The Kingdom of Morocco has solidified its position as a leading political, economic, and social player across Africa, the Arab world, the Mediterranean basin, and beyond, according to Anissa Saysay, a German politician of Moroccan descent and member of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), the party of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
In a recent interview marking Fête du Trône, Saysay highlighted how Morocco, under the wise leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, has evolved into a modern, stable nation recognized for its global influence. This transformation stems from a long-term vision, significant investments in infrastructure, and a commitment to economic independence.
Key achievements include:
- Cutting-edge infrastructure such as high-speed rail, expanded ports, and state-of-the-art airports.
- Thriving industrial hubs in automotive and aerospace sectors.
- Technological and industrial parks driving innovation and economic growth.
Saysay emphasized Morocco’s strategic geographical and cultural position as a bridge between Europe, Africa, and the Arab world, enhancing its political and economic leverage. She also praised the country’s leadership in energy transition, calling Morocco a “pioneer in Africa and a key partner for Europe” in renewable energy.
On the social front, she commended Morocco’s advancements in social protection, healthcare access, education, and women’s rights.
Discussing Morocco-Germany relations, Saysay noted their positive evolution in recent years. She described Morocco as a reliable and vital partner for Germany in North Africa, citing the country’s stability, dynamism, and strategic location. Germany, in turn, serves as a major partner for Morocco in technology, industry, vocational training, research, climate protection, and sustainable development.
Saysay stressed the importance of an equal partnership built on mutual respect, shared interests, and sincere political dialogue. She highlighted the role of Moroccan-German dual nationals in fostering investments, knowledge exchange, scientific cooperation, and social ties. Their unique perspective allows them to blend German institutional expertise and technological prowess with Moroccan creativity, resilience, and regional networks.
Fête du Trône is more than a national celebration, she added—it strengthens the bond between Moroccans abroad and their homeland, reflecting the nation’s progress and shared heritage.
