Rabat: On the 26th anniversary of the passing of Late HM King Hassan II, Morocco remembers the significant contributions of the late Sovereign to the nation's development and his efforts in fostering global peace and security. The commemoration aligns with the remembrance of the 49th anniversary of the glorious Green March, highlighting his role as the architect of modern Morocco. According to Agence Marocaine De Presse, the late King Hassan II, who ascended to the throne in 1961, followed and fortified the policies set by his father, Mohammed V. His rule was marked by significant efforts towards the unification and edification of Morocco, helping the country gain a notable position internationally and enhancing its stability and development. The recovery of the provinces of Sidi Ifni and Oued Eddahab and the organization of the Green March were pivotal in consolidating Morocco's territorial integrity. King Hassan II initiated several key policies that had long-lasting impacts on the country's economic and social landscape. Introduced in 1966, his "dam policy" was instrumental during recurrent droughts, underpinning the agricultural sector's role in Morocco's economic development. His reign also saw advancements in social issues, including women's rights, family institution strengthening, social housing, and human rights. Internationally, King Hassan II was known for his diplomatic acumen, contributing significantly to various global forums and playing crucial roles in regional and international issues. His efforts were recognized globally, notably with a posthumous Pan-African Prize awarded by Ethiopia in 2022 for his contributions to African development and unity. The late King's foreign policy balanced modernity with the preservation of Morocco's Islamic, Arab, African, and Mediterranean identity. As Commander of the Faithful, he advocated for the unity of the Islamic Ummah. The ongoing commemoration not only honors his memory but also reaffirms the Moroccan people's loyalty to the Alawid Throne and their commitment to continue the projects initiated by his successor, King Mohammed VI.
