MEDIA ADVISORY, Aug. 1, 2013 /Standard Newswire/ -- On the occasion of the fourteenth anniversary of his enthronement, King Mohammed VI centered his throne speech around Morocco's Islamic identity, major economic and social projects, politician and judiciary reforms as well as the importance of reflecting the diversity of Moroccan identity through culture.
On Morocco's Islamic identity, the King stressed the fact that Morocco is known for its moderation, tolerance and openness, as well as its plural identity and linguistic diversity expressing his commitment, as commander of all faiths to preserve the tolerant Islamic identity of the Kingdom.
The King also highlighted several major economic and social projects undertaken by Morocco, in addition to the political and institutional reforms that were introduced to fulfill the aspirations of the nation.
The King expressed his commitment "to ensure that culture receives all the attention it deserves adding that culture should reflect the practical diversity, plural identity and linguistic diversity of the kingdom,
"Not only is it the bedrock of cohesion within the nation, but it also reflects our identity as well as our traditional values," the King said. "since Morocco boasts a rich identity built around a variety of specific linguistic and ethnic components, and given our country's outstanding cultural and artistic heritage, the cultural sector should seek to illustrate this diversity and to encourage all forms of creativity, be it in connection with our time-honored heritage or with contemporary trends, thereby reflecting a harmonious blend between traditional values and modern creativity."
On the reforms of Justice, The King called on all Moroccans to be mobilized in order to complete the reform of the justice, and "the preservation of our identity and its protection against the risks of reclusiveness and distortion hinge upon the proper understanding of our religion."
For this reason, the King talked about the efforts he made to safeguard the Islamic identity of the Moroccan people by means of adopting a "Ulema charter," whose goals include the achievement of the Kingdom's spiritual security and the preservation of the Moroccan Islamic identity.
"Ours is a typically Moroccan approach to the practice of Islam, which is based on the homogeneity of the Maliki rite, as well as on tolerance and moderation," the King noted.
