King Mohammed VI  of Morocco has congratulated Donald J. Trump on his election as President of the United States of America (USA) and pledged to work closely with him to advance their shared interests and further enhance their “unique alliance across all levels of cooperation.”

In a congratulatory message, on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, to the President-elect, who he referred to as a “longstanding friend and ally,” King Mohammed VI wished Trump every success in his presidential duties and endeavors to serve the American people, noting that his “resounding success”  in the election “is a tribute to his patriotism and rewards his continued commitment to upholding the best interests of the United States.

The Moroccan Monarch also reiterated that the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States of America share a historic alliance and a strategic partnership, both of which have withstood the test of time, adding that “the values we have in common and our shared interests across a wide range of sectors have enabled us to consistently work together towards building a better future for our peoples, making our relationship a driving force for peace, security and prosperity in the Middle-East, Africa and beyond.”

He recalled that during the previous tenure of Mr. Trump, bilateral ties between the two countries reached an unprecedented level when America recognized the Kingdom of Morocco’s full sovereignty over its entire territory in the Sahara, stressing that this memorable act, for which the Moroccan people will be forever grateful, was a milestone and a pivotal moment, reflecting “the true depth of the special, longstanding relationship which holds the promise of even greater cooperation and a broader strategic partnership.”
