Throne Day the Kingdom of Morocco
Message by His Excellency Mr. Abderrahim Rahhaly, Ambassador of His Majesty the King of Morocco
Such a particular moment of joy and happiness to share with the Thai community some thoughts about the Moroccan glorious Day of Throne and the Moroccan-Thai relations.
The Throne Day represents a special day in the Kingdom of Morocco that takes place every year on July 30. It is an annual occasion to confirm the sincere loyalty and the special bonds tying the Throne and the People and to renew the sacred Act of Allegiance “Baia’a” rooted for centuries in the Kingdom of Morocco.
In the midst of celebrating this glorious national anniversary, which marks the ascension of the Commander of the Faithful, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, to the Throne of his Glorious ancestors on July 30, 1999, Moroccans recall the most important historical events related to the Moroccan territorial integrity and the establishment of a country in progress by both his Grandfather, His Majesty Late King Mohammed V and His Majesty The King Late Hassan II.
This great national memory constitutes an opportunity for His Majesty The King and the People to reflect on what has been achieved and what needs to be done to build a prosperous modern Morocco for the current and the next generations, and to express the mutual commitment between The King and the People to rise to challenges and overcome obstacles ahead.
The real significance of the celebration of this glorious anniversary is the permanent identification of the bonds of close cohesion between the Glorious Throne and the People, the permanent and continuous loyalty that the Moroccan people have to their King, His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and the expression of values and originality, the link to freedom and democracy, and the constant readiness to defend the Moroccan territorial integrity.
On the Moroccan-Thai relations, Morocco and Thailand enjoy good relations of mutual respect and trust. Both Kingdoms established diplomatic relations on October 4, 1985. The Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco opened in 1994 and the Royal Thai Embassy opened in Rabat in 1993.
Morocco values its relations with SE Asian countries and wishes to further strengthen these relations , which is shown through its signature of ASEAN TAC in 2016, its obtaining of the statuses of Observer in the AIPA, of Associate member in the SEAMEO, and as a Development Partner in the MRC.
It is at the end my honour to mention that Morocco and Thailand enjoy, not only friendly connection, but a strong basis of mutual understanding. Both of the countries are constitutional Monarchies and both of our leaders are leaders of Faith: His Majesty the King Mohammed VI, is the Commander of the Faithful and His Majesty the King Maha Vajiralongkorn is the Patron of Faith.
