His Majesty is in the north of Morocco, visiting the cities of Tetouan and Tangier, where he will officiate at Throne Day festivities. This week, he has been appointing new ministers and receiving several new ambassadors to the kingdom. Today, the King has pardoned 24 865 prisoners, a common occurence at this time.
