Morocco: A Strategic Actor for African Stability Under King Mohammed VI's Leadership
Rabat — Morocco's leading model continues to attract international commendation for its role in the African continent. Nigerian magazine The New Africa has honored the country's role as a 'strategic actor' promoting stability in Africa under King Mohammed VI's leadership.
The magazine celebrated Morocco for being a reliable mediator and promoter of dialogue during times of crisis.
Morocco's African diplomacy extends beyond economic development to actively promote peace and dialogue across the continent, it argued.
Leveraging its international credibility, Morocco has played a crucial role in mediation efforts throughout Africa. The magazine referred to the Skhirat and Bouznika processes, which have vitally contributed to the ongoing political process to resolve the Libyan crisis.

Beyond political dialogue, the Nigerian magazine pointed out Morocco's contribution to cultural and spiritual cooperation.
It particularly spoke of the country's significant role in fortifying resilience against extremist ideologies, particularly through institutions like the Mohammed VI Institute for Training Imams and the Mohammed VI Foundation of African Islamic Scholars.
Under King Mohammed VI's leadership, the magazine stressed, Morocco's African policy has yielded international respect and significant partnerships.
The magazine referred to the Royal Atlantic Africa initiative, arguing that Rabat's leading model of cooperation has been successful in developing major projects in energy, logistics, and food security.
The New Africa magazine also recalled the North African country's rooted connection with West Africa, including landlocked Sahel countries.
