Morocco’s King Mohammed VI today congratulated newly crowned King Charles III of the United Kingdom on his coronation, expressing “deep pride” in the ties between Morocco and the UK.
The king sent a letter of congratulations to King Charles, as well as the newly crowned Queen Camilla, wishing them “a most prosperous reign, and the people of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland further progress and prosperity,” Morocco’s news agency MAP reported.
The Moroccan monarch also expressed “deep pride” in the ties between the two countries, describing them as special relations rooted in fruitful cooperation and active solidarity.”
He said the ties between the two countries will grow stronger through “our shared determination to develop and promote them, and further our peoples’ interests.”
King Charles III was crowned today in a lavish Westminster Abbey ceremony attended by thousands of guests and troops. Throughout the UK, several smaller private screening events were also held to celebrate the occasion.
Some elements of the ceremony, such as the military jet fly-past, had to be scaled back or cut due to weather conditions.
The ceremony was attended by Morocco’s Princess Lalla Meryem, who was also at a VIP reception on Friday in London’s Buckingham Palace.
King Charles III’s reign began on September 8, 2023, following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II.
