Morocco's Crown Prince Hosts Dinner in Celebration of FAR's 69th Anniversary
Rabat — Morocco's Crown Prince Moulay El Hassan led Rabat's Officers' Mess to celebrate the 69th birthday of Morocco's Royal Armed Forces (FAR).
The Crown Prince represented King Mohammed VI, FAR's Supreme Commander and Chief of General Staff.
The Army Corps General greeted the Crown Prince as he arrived at the venue.
Following this welcome, Prince Moulay El Hassan inspected a Headquarters Battalion detachment that performed ceremonial honors, according to military officials.
A lineup of top military and government leaders paid their respects to the Crown Prince after the inspection.
These included the Head of Government, the National Defense Administration Minister, the Royal Gendarmerie Commander, the Chief of the FAR's 3rd Bureau, the Royal Air Forces Inspector, the Royal Navy Inspector, and the Delegated Arms Commander for the Rabat-Sale area.
The guest list for the royal lunch featured Moroccan leadership, including government officials, parliamentary leaders, royal advisors, judicial authorities, constitutional body presidents, senior military officers, and foreign military attaches stationed in Rabat.
Military installations across Morocco also celebrated the 69th anniversary of the creation of FAR, with flag raisings, public readings of the King's special message, decoration ceremonies for distinguished service, and formal military parades.
The event marks nearly seven decades since the establishment of Morocco's modern military forces, which operate under the direct authority of the King.
Earlier today, King Mohammed VI addressed an order of the day to FAR's officers, non-commissioned officers, and privates on the same occasion.
His message recognized FAR's relentless efforts to preserve Morocco's peace and security.
The King also commended Morocco's military contribution to the UN's international peacekeeping missions, urging them to fortify their capabilities to face challenges and unprecedented regional and international disruptions. Tags: Crown Prince Moulay El HassanFAR 69th anniversary
