In his address, Ambassador Setri described Throne Day as an occasion for Moroccans to reaffirm their loyalty to the King while reflecting on the country’s progress across economic, social and sporting fields. Ambassador Setri pointed to what he described as Morocco’s highest GDP growth rate, improving macroeconomic indicators and rising foreign direct investment. He also recalled King Mohammed VI’s response following the Iranian attacks on Qatar. Quoting King Mohammed VI’s condolence message, Ambassador Setri said Morocco “greatly cherishes the late Amir’s enduring fraternal bonds and steadfast solidarity with Morocco in times of both prosperity and hardship”. The formal ceremony ended with Ambassador Setri and Qatari dignitaries taking part in a Throne Day cake cutting.
