This dossier traces Mohammed VI’s public activities since his accession on 23 July 1999: speeches, decisions and audiences, visits within Morocco and abroad, institutional and social reforms, major projects and Royal Office statements. It distinguishes announced directions, decisions and documented delivery. Full speeches and messages: the Communication Ministry’s six official collections provide access to archives from July 1999 to June 2024: 1999–2001 · 2002–2005 · 2006–2009 · 2010–2014 · 2015–2019 · 2019–June 2024. Maroc.ma’s archive extends access to recent speeches, including 2026. Each selected speech entry links to an official document or identified transcript. Full texts are available at the linked sources; they are not reproduced in full on Moojaz. The 2026 edition of the official collection adds further documents. Landmark readings include the 31 January 2017 Addis Ababa address and the 31 October 2025 address, both linked in French.
As of 31 October 2026, the chronology covers milestones since 1999 and links occurrences already published in other dossiers. Its latest entries concern the 28 October working session on Nador West Med and Tanger Med and the royal pardon announced on 30 October. Reconstruction remains selective: daily activities, every visit and each speech have not yet been individually indexed. Official collections and links widen documentary access without establishing an exhaustive timeline.
On 15 November 2018, Mohammed VI and Emmanuel Macron inaugurate Al Boraq in Tangier and travel together to Rabat. The French Treasury and Reuters document the event.
The service links Tangier and Casablanca, using a high-speed section between Tangier and Kénitra. The inauguration concerns the railway service and its equipment; the entire route to Casablanca is not a newly built high-speed line.
On 31 January 2017, Morocco joins the African Union after more than three decades outside the continental organisation.
The decision departs from the absence strategy adopted in 1984. Rabat can now defend its positions and develop African partnerships from within. The SADR remains an African Union member: Morocco’s return amounts neither to its expulsion nor to Moroccan recognition of its claims.
The African and UN frameworks continue to coexist. These institutional differences explain why an announcement by a state, consulate or organisation cannot be presented as a universal settlement. Countries’ positions need their precise wording and date.
On 15 November 2016, Mohammed VI addresses COP22’s high-level session in Marrakech. UNFCCC archives preserve the official document and conference programme.
The speech calls for climate commitments to be translated into action and highlights Africa’s needs. This address is separate from decisions collectively negotiated by the conference parties.

On 19 October 2016 in Kigali, Paul Kagame receives Mohammed VI, who arrived the previous day for a state visit. The leaders oversee agreements, according to Rwanda’s presidency and Kigali Today’s reporting.
The documents cover political cooperation, investment, air services, security and tourism. This records a royal visit to East Africa and its accompanying commitments without assuming implementation of every agreement.
On 11 May 2016 in Beijing, Mohammed VI and Xi Jinping agree to establish a strategic partnership between Morocco and China, according to China’s foreign ministry.
The Great Hall of the People meeting accompanies economic-cooperation and investment agreements. The Chinese statement identifies industry, infrastructure, clean energy and tourism among areas for cooperation. These are the leaders’ policy directions; actual investment delivery requires separate follow-up.
On 15 March 2016, Mohammed VI meets Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin during an official visit to Russia. The countries publish a declaration on a deeper strategic partnership.
The visit combines political talks and economic cooperation. TelQuel documents the meeting and recalls an earlier royal visit to Russia in 2002. Partnership commitments are separate from subsequent delivery of announced projects.
On 4 February 2016, Mohammed VI inaugurates Noor I near Ouarzazate. TelQuel’s on-site reporting and the developer’s statement document the launch of the solar complex’s first phase.
The royal activity marks commissioning of a generating plant under Morocco’s solar programme. It is separate from completion of all Noor plants and achievement of national renewable-energy targets. The statement’s text dates the event to 4 February despite a later webpage date.
On 7 November 2015 in Laayoune, Morocco’s government presents a new development model for the southern provinces with an announced budget of 77 billion dirhams.
The programme combines infrastructure, economic transformation and social policies. It places phosphates, connectivity and employment within Morocco’s strategy for integrating the southern provinces and opening towards sub-Saharan Africa. Official documents announce expected production and employment effects; they do not independently measure achieved results.
Geographic scopes also differ: the “southern provinces” include administrative areas that do not exactly match former Spanish Sahara. Comparing budgets, populations or indicators therefore requires checking territorial coverage. Economic development, distribution of benefits and political settlement remain related but distinct questions.
On 24 February 2014 in Abidjan, Mohammed VI addresses the opening of the Morocco–Côte d’Ivoire economic forum. He advocates African cooperation through economic partnerships and business involvement.
Côte d’Ivoire’s government dates his arrival to 23 February. The Ivorian employers’ intervention corroborates the forum’s holding in the king’s presence. The speech sets a South–South cooperation direction; agreement outcomes require separate follow-up.

On 17 June 2011, Mohammed VI presents the draft new Constitution to the nation. The address follows the reform announced on 9 March and prepares the referendum.
The text sets out institutional changes and recognizes Amazigh as an official language alongside Arabic. Presentation of the draft is separate from promulgation and publication in the Official Bulletin in July.

On 9 March 2011, Mohammed VI announces constitutional revision in an address to the nation. He proposes strengthening institutions, rights and regionalization, alongside recognition of Morocco’s diverse identity.
The address provides for a revision commission chaired by Abdeltif Mennouni. It starts a process with separate stages: presentation of the draft in June, the referendum and promulgation of the new text.
