Below the full text of the Royal Speech: "Praise be to God Prayer and salvation upon the Prophet, his family and his companions. Dear people, Faithful to your old traditions, you celebrate today the Feast of the Throne. This commemoration is not only embodies your steadfast loyalty to your First Servant which is entrusted with the task of ensuring your direction and maintain your unit. It also symbolizes the reaffirmation constantly renewed the pact of allegiance by which we mutually pledge to advance Morocco on the path of progress, prosperity, development and stability. Finally, it gives a tangible commitment to your constant immutable and sacred values of the nation speech. From Our accession to the throne, We committed to initiate a number of economic and social projects, along with policy and institutional reforms that we have undertaken in response to your aspirations. In doing so, we always put the dignity and development of the Moroccan citizen at the heart of our concerns. The work in which we are engaged is a continuous process, bursting with bold and decisive initiatives, marked by participatory approaches to optimize the opportunities available. During this work, all previous governments have made, under our leadership, valiant efforts to give substance to our vision for development and reform. So much so that our government has found his hands in the economic and social field, a healthy and positive legacy consisting of constructive actions and tangible achievements. We can only encourage them to move forward with as much will and determination to achieve further progress in the process initiated under our virtuous conduct. Dear people, We have the determination to stay the course to complete the constitutional institutions and meet the requirements of good governance. The desire that drives us in this regard is matched only by our determination to continue to give shape to our social project combines sustainable economic growth, sustainable development and social responsibility. In fact, Morocco has made great strides in infrastructure, including ensuring the supply of our cities and villages with drinking water, electricity and other services. Tangible progress has been made in terms of basic facilities, such as ports and airports, as well as at strengthening the road network and the optimal management of water resources, in addition to the launch of development projects rail and urban transport. All achievements that have changed the face of the provinces and gave a new face to Morocco. They have created the conditions to further develop strategies implemented in different sectors. Moreover, the gradual implementation of sector strategies has enabled our country to achieve tangible progress and increase its attractiveness to foreign investment, and, despite a difficult global economic and social situation. In affirming our desire to encourage investment, we reiterate our call for the government to give priority to all that is likely to stimulate growth and promote job creation. It should ensure complementarity between the requirements of local consumption and the exportability of our production, with all that this implies as positive effects on the balance of payments. In the same vein, Morocco has sought for years to develop global industrial trades under the Plan Emergence. We thank God for the results that have been obtained and that encourage us to stay the course. In this regard, we urge the government to create the right conditions to diversify and expand our industrial base through a proactive policy that strengthens the partnership between the public and private sectors. It is in the same spirit that fits the desire to give Morocco the capacity to produce renewable energy, helping to give concrete expression to our vision of sustainable development. Hence the implementation of solar energy program, including the launch of construction sites "Nour Complex" in Ouarzazate, along with deadlines listed in wind energy program. In addition to their environmental importance, these projects will make us less dependent on energy imports. It is therefore necessary to initiate a policy of efficient training and develop skills in this area, which will help, in addition, the implementation of the National Environmental Charter. Moreover, and despite the global financial crisis, the tourism sector in Morocco has been able to protect the adverse effects of the crisis thanks to the efforts and initiatives that we have implemented in recent years. All of which are likely to encourage all partners and stakeholders in the sector to get involved in the realization of Vision 2020. The adoption of advanced agricultural strategy reflects how we measure the importance of this vital sector. In this respect, we give thanks to God for having bestowed this year a benefactor rain and abundant crops. The "Green Morocco" program contributes to the modernization of the agricultural sector, taking due account of the constant interest to be paid to small farmers to improve their living conditions. Dedicated to mark our concern for this category of the population, we will continue to benefit from the tax exemption. This exemption shall cease to be in force at the end of the year for large agricultural investments, but we will keep it in force for medium and small-scale agriculture. In addition, we urge the government to establish a special agency which oversees align agricultural policy and the territorial space of the affected population, especially in mountainous areas where land use represents a certain distance. These efforts must be made in full complementarity with planning programs. Following the same approach, we have worked to promote the sector of marine fisheries through the plan "Halieutis" which has made tangible progress and promising, worthy of support and support. Beyond economic growth, our primary objective remains the achievement of social justice is the foundation of social cohesion. Therefore, the National Initiative for Human Development should be considered a work in progress. In fact, it is a real roadmap for a comprehensive development vision and daring, which is not limited to poor and needy families, but that opens on all development sites to reduce social and territorial disparities. We therefore confirm the need to strengthen and expand the current programs of the NHRI, through other mechanisms that give priority to income-generating projects. On this occasion, we welcome the unpublished results of the national mentoring programs in the field of the fight against illiteracy, particularly those that we initiated in mosques since 2004. Indeed, the number of beneficiaries this year will reach a million and a half, and will be able to invest in the integrated development process of their country. Given the necessary complementarity should exist between the material and moral dimensions of human development, we are committed to give culture the importance and the interest it deserves. We are indeed convinced that it is the cement of the cohesion of the nation, and the mirror of identity and authenticity. Morocco, rich in its plural identity with multiple linguistic and ethnic tributaries, has a cultural and artistic heritage worthy of admiration. It is therefore the cultural sector to put into practice this diversity. It should encourage all forms of creative expression as well as those in harmony with our ancient heritage as in tune with the modern taste in its styles and genres, many and varied, and, in a process which combines and complement traditions and modern creations. But we can not preserve our identity and protect downside risks and alteration by a judicious understanding of our religion. This is why, from our accession to the throne, We tied in Our quality of Commander of the Faithful, defender of the faith and the faithful, protect the Islamic identity of our people, which embodies an original Moroccan model the practice of Islam, and is characterized by a tolerant faith and the unity of the Maliki rite, that of balance and moderation. It is in this perspective that we launched a strategy for the promotion of the religious field. We consolidated the plan the "Charter of Ulema," which, notably to ensure the security of the United spiritual and preserve the Moroccan Islamic identity. Dear people, We since expired mission to assume the leadership of the nation, we have to make the heart of the justice reform, its moral and modernization, as well as strengthening its independence. For it is not only uphold the law and the injustices, but also to create an atmosphere of trust that encourages the development and encourages investment. In this regard, we note with satisfaction the outcome of a charter reform of the judicial system, for which all the conditions are now met. It is up to us all to mobilize to carry out his term this important reform. But whatever the importance of the reform of regulations and efficient mechanisms that have been mobilized to this effect, it remains that it is the awareness of responsible stakeholders who will be the true test to evaluate this reform, even the key of the success of the entire sector. Taking stock of the achievements in the work that we drive on the path of development and reform, it seems we need to express the pride we inspire good citizenship and steadfast commitment to the motherland, demonstrated by members of our community living abroad. Indeed, although their financial situation this year has suffered from the global financial crisis, they willingly bear the fatigue of travel, sometimes long distances across Europe to visit their country and find their own. We welcome, therefore, their sincere patriotism, welcome them, and assure them of all our care. Dear people, The capital sympathy enjoyed our first cause internationally, has increased by a good understanding of the ins and outs of the issue of our territorial integrity. This trend is illustrated by the growing support of our wise initiative, namely our autonomy proposal. In this regard, we note in particular that the last resolution of the Security Council strongly reaffirmed the essential prerequisites for achieving a consensual and realistic political solution. Furthermore, the resolution puts particular emphasis on the regional dimension of the dispute and emphasizes the responsibility of Algeria as a party to this litigation, both at the political level as the legal and humanitarian situation affecting degrading prevailing in the Tindouf camps. According to the resolution, the issue of human rights should only be addressed through national mechanisms, including the National Council for Human Rights, which enjoys international credibility, and strong sovereign initiatives positive interaction with the special procedures of the United Nations. Before the determination of the other parties who continue to keep the situation in the state and meet their campaigns mystification, Morocco will apply to continue the momentum that has triggered internally, mainly to achieve more good economic and social, and governance through the regional development model, the economic, social and environmental National Council is working to develop, and which we expect the implementation with all the efficiency and commitment of all required . The second part of this process focuses on strengthening the territorial and institutional governance, which passes through the optimum use of the opportunities offered by the advanced regionalization. Thirdly, this dynamic will aim to improve governance of the security policy to protect individual and collective liberties, and property, and in compliance with the provisions and safeguards prescribed by law. By its nature and implications, fair and judicious process requires the mobilization of all the forces and support the efforts of the authorities in this field. Dear people, Since our accession to the throne, Morocco has experienced, in terms of its external relations, evolving and significant advances in synergy with the various public policies that apply to the country house. In this regard, we have always tried to follow a balanced and multi-international politics, so much so that we were able to build a concrete and tangible way our relations with our traditional partners, and to open new and promising perspectives with new partners. In this context, Morocco has always kept hoping the emergence of a new Maghreb order allowing the five countries to build a common future, embodied by the mechanisms of complementarity and integration and free movement of people, capital and goods. But it is necessary to do so, refrain from raising artificial barriers and impose conditions, and strive to be in total sync with the changes on the regional scene. The same conviction animates Morocco vis-à-vis the Arab world. Indeed, our country work in concert with all the Arab states, to develop a new approach to joint Arab action. In this respect, we decided during our visit in the states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, to lay the foundation for a strategic partnership between the Kingdom and the harmonious and promising regional grouping. In this regard, we note with great satisfaction the first positive results of this partnership. On this occasion, we express our thanks and gratitude after the decision to grant Morocco a financial support from our Honourable Brothers: The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Ibn Abdulaziz, Sovereign of the Kingdom Saudi Arabia, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nehyane, State President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Assabah, Emir of the State of Kuwait, and His Highness Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani and his successor, His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, Emir of the State of Qatar. We know their highly appreciate the support that is to make an annual donation to Morocco a billion dollars over five years, and for the implementation of this decision. In addition, we have relentlessly pursued our efforts at the head of Al-Quds Committee to defend the just Palestinian cause, so that, on the basis of the Arab Peace Initiative, the brotherly Palestinian people to live on their land in an independent state. In addition, we continue our support and commitment to the preservation of the religious and civilizational identity of the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, including through the Al-Quds Committee and its operational arm, the Agency Bait Mal Al-Quds, which ensures the implementation of many tangible projects. No doubt that this agency will optimize its action in the public interest, if it receives the necessary material support from all Islamic countries, as they are jointly committed to it during the creation of this specialized agency. In addition, Morocco has continued its policy of solidarity vis-à-vis African brothers, confirming his deep faith in the virtues of South-South cooperation. In this regard, we have made this year, official visits to three African brothers, moved by the desire to strengthen the ties between Morocco to the mainland. These visits are an opportunity for us to inform us of the demand in these countries for investment and know-how Moroccans. Also, we invite Moroccan operators to be receptive to the request to facilitate integration, reconciliation and increased between the economies of our countries complementarity. In addition, the UK continued its strategy of opening a constructive synergy with its European partners. In fact, our country has expressed its commitment to strengthen its bilateral relations with the Kingdom of Spain and the French Republic respectively, during visits to our country by the Spanish sovereign, His Majesty King Juan Carlos I, and His Excellency, the French President, Francois Hollande. In addition, joint efforts continue to further strengthen our partnership with the European Union in the framework of the advanced status that distinguishes Morocco. It is for this, open new and promising perspectives to this cooperation. This diplomatic influence spread to other continents and international actors operating there, and with which we strive to strengthen our relationships. In the same vein, Morocco has worked, as a non-permanent member of the Security Council are to hold high the voice of Africa and the Arab world. In this regard, we wish to reaffirm, on behalf of Morocco, its solidarity with the Syrian people who have endured the horrors of the terrible bloody and devastating conflict raging in the country. We support its crucial choices and offer our support to territorial integrity. We also stand with the Republic of Mali, this brother country in its struggle to preserve its territorial integrity and national support his choice to protect their identity against extremism and terrorism demons.
