Moroccan King Delivers Speech To Parliament At Opening Of First Session Of 5th Legislative Year Of 11th Legislature

Rabat, October 11 (TNA) King Mohammed VI, accompanied by HRH Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan and HRH Prince Moulay Rachid, on Friday, delivered a speech to the Parliament at the opening of the first session of the fifth legislative year of the 11th Legislature.

In his address, the King said: This is an opportunity for me to express my appreciation for the work you do in the areas of legislation, oversight of government action, and evaluation of public policies. I wish to commend the efforts made to promote party and parliamentary diplomacy to serve the nation’s foremost causes. In this regard, I call for greater diligence and effectiveness with respect to cooperation and complementarity with our official diplomacy.

“This is the final year in the mandate of the members of the House of Representatives. I invite you to devote it to working in a serious, responsible manner to complete legislative plans, implement ongoing programs and projects, and be vigilant and determined in serving the issues that matter to the citizens.

There should be no inconsistency or competition between national flagship projects, on the one hand, and social programs, on the other, since the goal is to achieve the country’s development and improve the living conditions of citizens, wherever they may be,” he further stated.

With that in mind, special attention should be given to accompanying citizens, and shedding light on initiatives taken by public authorities, as well as the various laws adopted and the decisions made, especially those relating directly to the rights and freedoms of citizens. This matter is not the responsibility of the government alone. Although it is everyone’s responsibility, it is, first and foremost, your duty as parliamentarians, given that you represent the citizens, the monarch said.
