King to deliver speech to the nation on Friday

After midday prayers on today ( January 06) King Mohammed VI will deliver a speech to the nation.

The ceremony is to be attended by the Prime Minister, speakers of the two Parliament houses, cabinet members, senior officers of the Royal Armed Forces General Staff, leaders of political parties and trade unions, chairmen of political groups at the Parliament, members of the Advisory Council for Human Rights, members of the Justice and Reconciliation Commission (IER) and the members of work committees and groups of the Report “50 years of Human development and 2025 Prospects”, as well as economic operators and association actors.

The speech to the nation is to be aired live on the Radio and Television.

The Sovereign lately gave orders to make public the final report of the IER, set up in 2004 to look into past human rights violations that occurred between 1956 and 1999 in Morocco, and asked to finalize the report on 50 years of human development in the north African country and widely circulate the latter.

The second report results from a work mainly revolving around the dimensions of human development potential in the kingdom and retraces the course Morocco took in this respect since independence.

The report’s approach and underlying principles are similar to those adopted in writing the National Initiative for Human Development announced by the King in May 18, 2005 to set up a prospective framework for efficiency in public policies and for boosting the fight of poverty and exclusion in the country.

The IER and human development reports are documents that integrate a better comprehension of the country’s past and allow Morocco foresee its future.
