His Majesty King Mohammed VI, May God Assist Him, chaired on Saturday, 1 June 2024, corresponding to 23 Dhul Qa’dah 1445 AH, at the Royal Palace in Casablanca, an important ministerial council dedicated to the approval of the strategic orientations of the State’s contribution policy, a draft regulatory law, a number of draft decrees related to the military field, as well as appointments to senior positions.
Approval of draft military decrees
During this Council, the Ministerial Council approved four important decrees in the military field, reflecting the high attention that His Majesty the King, Supreme Commander and Chief of the General Staff of the Royal Armed Forces, gives to the professional and social conditions of the members of the Royal Armed Forces. These decrees are:
Creation of two defence industrial acceleration zones:
This project aims to provide specialised industrial zones to incubate industries related to defence and security equipment and mechanisms, weapons systems and ammunition.
Amending the regulations governing the body of research professors in medicine, pharmacy and dentistry:
This project aims to enshrine scientific and academic excellence as the main criterion for access to the profession of research professor and professional promotion, in addition to improving promotion procedures and providing compensation for professors heading poles and centres in military hospital institutions.
Amendment of the National Coordination Committee in the fields of hydrography, oceanography and nautical cartography:
This project aims to add the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates or his representative to the membership of this committee, thus enhancing coordination and cooperation in these vital fields.
Creation of a post of military attaché at the Kingdom’s Embassy in Brasilia:
This project aims to materialise the strong ties between the Kingdom of Morocco and the State of Brazil, by creating the post of military attaché at the Embassy of Morocco in Brazil.
Strengthening the military strategy
These strategic decisions approved by the Ministerial Council reflect the Kingdom of Morocco’s commitment to strengthening its defence and industrial capacities, as well as supporting scientific research and international cooperation in the military and hospital fields. They also come within the framework of the ongoing efforts to improve the professional and social status of members of the Royal Armed Forces and to develop the necessary infrastructure to support Morocco’s defence and security industries.
These steps reflect His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s keenness to lead the country towards further progress and development, while maintaining security and stability and strengthening Morocco’s position in the international arena.
