Moroccans across the world celebrated the twenty-second anniversary of the accession of His Majesty King Mohammed VI to the Throne of His glorious ancestors on Friday 30th July 2021. It was a moment of honor of a history that reflects the perfect relationship between the Throne and the people in their march towards the future.
The Throne Day is the strong symbolic moment of the renewal of the alliance between the King and the Moroccan People by strengthening the bonds of allegiance and cohesion. It is both an opportunity to evaluate what has been achieved during the previous period and an occasion to strengthen the action to continue building a modern Morocco while protecting its supreme interests, territorial unity, and sovereignty over the whole of its territory.
In Ghana, the Embassy of the Kingdom of Morocco commemorated the day with a special two-hour event at the residence of the Ambassador, Her Excellency Mrs. Imane Quaadi.
