Moroccan Embassy in Washington Highlights US-Morocco Exceptional Relationship through Short Film

On the occasion of Independence Day, the Moroccan Embassy in Washington spotlighted the exceptional relationship between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United States by releasing a short film. The film, broadcast online, illustrates the deep historical partnership between the two countries, dating back to 1777 when Morocco became the first country to recognize the United States.

The ties between Rabat and Washington extend beyond diplomacy to include shared commitments and strategic values that push towards the future. As the only African partner to have signed a free trade agreement with the US, Morocco plays a vital role in strengthening this partnership across various fields, from trade to military exercises like “African Lion.”

Moroccan Ambassador to Washington, Youssef Amrani, recounted this rich history, highlighting Morocco’s role as a reliable partner to the United States in international forums. The short film also underscores how this partnership goes beyond political ties, serving as a force for peace and understanding among nations, through cooperation in the Middle East and support for stability in Africa.

The most impactful scene in the film is that of Moroccan citizens in the US raising their country’s flag in Times Square to celebrate Morocco’s Atlas Lions’ achievements in the World Cup, reinforcing the bond between the two peoples and the deep Moroccan identity at the heart of the United States.

This short film is not just a reminder of the past, but a call to continue building the future together.
