Rudolph Atallah, Deputy Assistant for Counterterrorism at the White House National Security Council, stated on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., that the Kingdom of Morocco—under the leadership of King Mohammed VI—has become a “pillar of stability and modernity, and a forward-looking power” amid an increasingly complex regional and international environment.
Atallah made the remarks during a ceremony hosted by the United States Congress to celebrate the historic relations and strategic partnership between Rabat and Washington, attended by members of Congress as well as political, diplomatic, and military figures.
He emphasized that Morocco has, in recent years, strengthened its position as a key partner of the United States, noting that the royal vision has deepened bilateral cooperation in vital areas—particularly security, economic development, and regional coordination. This trajectory, he said, reflects leadership marked by foresight and pragmatism in addressing challenges.
Atallah underscored that Morocco is a reliable partner for the United States, stressing that “when challenges arise, Morocco consistently demonstrates its ability to make prudent, wise, and coherent decisions.” He added that the relationship is not a temporary or symbolic alliance, but a partnership grounded in trust and shared responsibility.
Drawing on his extensive experience in security and strategic partnerships, the U.S. official affirmed that Morocco is not only among America’s oldest allies, but also among its most dependable, citing the consistency of its positions and clarity of its commitments.
He concluded by noting that the occasion provided an opportunity to celebrate centuries-old bilateral ties and to renew a shared commitment to further strengthening them in the face of regional and global challenges.
In a symbolic gesture reflecting the strength of these ties, the U.S. Congress marked the celebration with the colors of the Moroccan flag—an emblem of one of the oldest diplomatic relationships in U.S. history.
The evening, organized under the “Project Legacy Morocco” initiative, brought together more than 200 participants, including U.S. senators and representatives, senior American military officials, diplomats, and members of the Moroccan diaspora in the United States.
This strong turnout illustrates the broad bipartisan consensus in Washington regarding Morocco’s standing, highlighting the exceptional nature of the Moroccan–American partnership—often cited as a model of strategic relations built on clear vision and enduring commitment.
In remarks delivered on the occasion, several members of Congress recalled the depth of the historic friendship between the two countries, noting that Morocco was the first nation in the world to recognize the independence of the United States in 1777—laying the foundation for a long-standing record of political, diplomatic, and security cooperation.
