"Under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, it is not only crisis management, but a life-changing social shift that has been initiated. One that places a confident bet on the future, based on a clear path of development and a profusion of ambitions," the diplomat underlined in an op-ed published Tuesday by South-African newspaper "The Star".

The osmosis of the Moroccan model is that of a past that has never been betrayed, a present that remains a priority and a future that is constantly anticipated, he pointed out, noting that "humanism, altruism and solidarity are the enduring components of this model, which many describe today as the Moroccan exception".

The heart of this identity is that of a royal vision which strengthens national cohesion based on shared ambitions and common values, the ambassador said.

Morocco has always put the human element at the heart of its priorities, Amrani stressed, adding that Covid-19 has confirmed and strengthened Morocco’s social conscience and awareness.

The kingdom is driven by empathy, imbued with fraternity and nurtured by compassion and His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s strategic orientation has brought together all the nation’s stakeholders around resilience and prosperity, he said.

"The economic cost of this approach is high, but its value and impact on the nation is immeasurable. Peace, security and health are priceless - these require clear-sightedness and responsibility," he added, noting that Morocco continues to invest in the future by using a model that is centred on progress, sharing, rule of law, justice and democracy.

Morocco is finalising a new model of development that corrects past shortcomings and fosters a brighter future, the diplomat underlined, adding that the components include the solutions brought forth by Morocco against Covid-19 and are the result of the same forward-looking spirit - one that blooms in an approach that is inclusive, analytical and prospective.

Morocco never forgets that the health and well-being of a nation are one and indivisible with its prosperity, Amrani said, adding that the sovereign has indicated that 120 billion Moroccan dirhams will be injected into the economy - equivalent to 11% of GDP, while social coverage will be extended to the benefit of all Moroccans, making humanitarianism, empathy and inclusion the heading of a new Moroccan chapter.

"It is the idea of unity, the ambition of coherence and the need for cohesion that underpin the approach of Morocco - a country federated around commitments which have never ceased to advance prosperity at a national level, and to promote emergence on a continental level," he pointed out.
