Thanks to HM the King's Vision, Morocco is Experiencing a ‘Remarkable Development Boom' - Vice-President of French National Assembly
"Morocco is unanimously perceived as a pillar and a point of reference in a very troubled world," Moutchou said in an interview with MAP-Paris on the occasion of the celebration of the glorious Throne Day, noting that it is "quite fascinating to see that the Kingdom, which has been able to combine tradition and modernity, constitutes a sort of heading for many countries."
Praising the "bold" reforms carried out under the Sovereign's impetus, the French deputy highlighted the institutional stability of the Kingdom and the remarkable evolution recorded in numerous areas, particularly access to healthcare, education, energy transition and security.
For Moutchou, "Throne Day is not only an institutional moment, but also a moment of pride for Moroccans to see their country evolve in stability and prosperity."
Evoking the relations between Morocco and France, the Vice-President of the National Assembly noted that the two countries are today living "an unprecedented moment."
"It is clear that today, we are living an unprecedented moment since we are in a new cycle of relations between our two countries. We are, as the President of the Republic said, in the process of writing, not a new chapter, a new book, but a new story," Moutchou said.
She recalled that "the reinforced exceptional partnership between France and Morocco is an unprecedented framework that opens up enormous prospects for our two countries, particularly fundamental projects in all sectors."
The French deputy announced that there is "a momentum opening up with the Southern Provinces" thanks to the "powerful" position of France to support Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara.
"France will support this momentum both at the European and international levels so that others will also join this momentum," Moutchou said, highlighting the role of parliamentary diplomacy.
The Vice-President of the National Assembly said, in the same context, that the legislative institutions are working on both sides to organize a major inter-parliamentary forum in Morocco by the end of the year which will be a great moment of parliamentary diplomacy.
Commenting on the co-organization by Morocco of the 2030 World Cup, Moutchou stressed that it is a "natural and common sense" decision.
"Morocco is a great country that has great infrastructure. It is also a great football Nation. It is the candidacy of a country that has assets and that met the conditions. It was not a surprise, but a great satisfaction," Moutchou noted.
She added that "Morocco is one of those great Nations in the world that are capable of organizing major events," hoping that France can contribute to Morocco in supporting this challenge.

Marseille : A politician close to President Tebboune organizes a trip for children from Tindouf
The «Holidays in Peace» initiative recently made a significant stop in Marseille, where Sahrawi children from the Tindouf camps were warmly received by Samia Ghali, a French-Algerian official who has served as the city's deputy mayor since 2020. «Staying true to its values, Marseille is hosting eight Sahrawi refugees this summer. This visit provides them with an opportunity to engage with local youth and explore the city, along with its greatest treasure: the sea. The connections we forge with these young refugees enhance the friendship between the Mediterranean peoples», Ghali expressed in a heartfelt welcome message shared on social media. As the organizer of this visit, Samia Ghali is recognized for her pro-Algerian views. In May 2024, she traveled to Algiers for a notable meeting with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, attended by the French ambassador to Algeria, Stéphane Romatet. Following this encounter at the Al Mouradia Palace, she joined the support committee for the electoral campaign of the «independent candidate» Tebboune in France, ahead of the presidential elections scheduled for September 7, 2023.

Diaspo #399 : Nouzha Ghoutis, an influential Moroccan voice in the United Arab Emirates
From the heart of the ancient city of Tetouan, born into a family deeply rooted in a love for language and knowledge, Nouzha Ghoutis emerged. Migration was never part of her plans or dreams, yet in 1992, she found herself packing her bags for the United Arab Emirates. Her intent was simply to visit her sister. What was meant to be a short trip turned into a lifelong journey. Her first impression of the UAE left a lasting mark. «I have never seen a woman humiliated in the UAE, regardless of her nationality or job. Women here are respected and prioritized in all aspects of life», she told Yabiladi. That respect, what she saw as a genuine expression of Islamic values, was the first emotional thread that connected her to the country. A French language teacher and linguistics researcher by training, Nouzha's academic ambitions were far-reaching. Her dream was to study languages in their native contexts. But once she arrived in Dubai, she realized the world had come to her. She began her teaching career in Morocco, with a degree in literature and French language, before expanding her horizons through international academic programs. She earned a Master's in Education and Learning, followed by a Master's in Law from France. In 2022, she completed a PhD in Diplomacy and Political Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science. On a professional level, Nouzha also became an international arbitration judge for dispute resolution (London, UK) and a legal advisor. She holds a diploma in Human Resource Management from a British university and a certified trainer diploma from the Dubai Government Academy. Today, she is a member of the International Association of Lawyers and Judges in Paris, the World Federation of United Nations Friends, and serves as a cultural diplomatic ambassador. She also represents Morocco at The Hague Institute for Human Rights and International Law, advocating for rights, culture, and peace. Despite her many roles, Nouzha has never abandoned her first passion: linguistics and language teaching. Living in the UAE, home to hundreds of nationalities, she found a rare academic opportunity and launched a research project that led to the publication of her first book. «In the UAE, dozens of nationalities live and work together in rare harmony. That inspired me to begin my research, which led to the 2023 release of my first book, Contemporary Scientific Solutions for Teaching and Learning the Arabic Language. It combines both theory and practice, bridging Arabic, French, and English». The book's success brought her scientific recognition and led to her participation in the 2024 World Arabic Language Conference in Dubai, which hosts researchers from more than 170 countries. She will return this year, once again proudly carrying the Moroccan flag. But her contributions didn't stop at linguistics. In 2024, she published a second book, The Impact of Economic Diplomacy on Economic Development, reflecting her vision of the intersection between culture, politics, and economics. Although some might describe her journey as one of migration, Nouzha resists the term. «I never felt like a migrant or a stranger. The UAE is an Arab country, its religion is Islam, and its culture is similar to ours. We live our rituals, Ramadan, Eid, our clothing, our food, just as we do in Morocco. Even our holidays become shared celebrations». She adds, «We live here as Moroccans in every detail. We have our restaurants, markets, traditional dress, festivals, and our longing for Morocco brings us together to relive the scent of home». Still, nostalgia remains an inseparable part of her identity. «Of course, we miss our homeland, our families, our friends, and the scent of our beloved Moroccan soil. So whenever we can, we return with hearts full of love and longing, for its skies, seas, mountains, and bustling markets». Today, Nouzha Ghoutis is more than a teacher, researcher, and academic, she is a Moroccan voice in the Gulf, embodying her homeland through both scientific and humanistic contributions. She helps shape a brighter image of Morocco and its people abroad.
