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 29 July 2026, Mohammed VI focuses his Throne Speech on institutional stability, development and social and spatial equity.

On 24 April 2025 at Rabat-Agdal station, Mohammed VI launches construction of the Kénitra–Marrakech high-speed railway, according to the official account.
The 430-kilometre project costs MAD 53 billion excluding rolling stock. It forms part of a broader MAD 96 billion rail programme including trains and network modernization. The amounts cover different scopes. The ceremony launches construction rather than passenger operations.
On 30 July 2024, a letter from Emmanuel Macron to Mohammed VI makes public France’s position that the Sahara’s present and future lie within Moroccan sovereignty.
Paris makes the 2007 autonomy plan the sole basis for a negotiated political solution. The Franco-Moroccan declaration of 28 October repeats this position within a strengthened partnership.
France’s role as a permanent Security Council member gives the shift particular weight for Rabat. It does not remove European institutions’ obligations or disagreements with Polisario and Algeria. Two tracks therefore remain: expanding political support for Morocco’s proposal and continuing legal questions over economic agreements and consent.
On 29 July 2024, Mohammed VI calls for faster water projects, including dams, transfers and desalination, in his Throne Speech.
He urges resource conservation and coordination of water and agricultural policies. The address also sets out his position on Gaza and the two-state solution.

On 12 September 2023, Mohammed VI visits injured survivors of the 8 September earthquake at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech, according to Hespress and the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity’s report.
The account describes visits to care units and a blood donation by the king. This hospital activity is separate from relief and reconstruction decisions. Because casualty counts changed during this period, this entry does not present an interim total as final.
On 17 July 2023, the Royal Cabinet announces Israeli recognition of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara in a letter from Benjamin Netanyahu to Mohammed VI.
The decision extends the diplomatic momentum following resumed relations in 2020. It strengthens Rabat’s position with a security and cooperation partner without constituting a Security Council decision.
This illustrates a recurring distinction: sovereignty recognition is more specific than support for a negotiating initiative. Opening a consulate is also a political gesture, but its meaning must be established from the relevant state’s statement. The dossier provides no unverified global count of recognitions, consulates or autonomy endorsements, which are different categories.
On 18 March 2022, a letter from Pedro Sánchez to King Mohammed VI makes public Spain’s assessment of Morocco’s autonomy plan as the most serious, realistic and credible basis for resolving the dispute.
The Rabat meeting on 7 April places the change within a new phase of bilateral relations. Spain has a particular role because of its colonial past, proximity and relations with Morocco and Algeria.
This wording supports a settlement framework; it is not identical to the US sovereignty-recognition proclamation. The shift draws political criticism in Spain and a reaction from Algeria. The dossier preserves these distinctions: diplomatic support is growing, but its legal and political content differs across states.
On 25 May 2021, Mohammed VI receives the Special Commission on the Development Model’s general report in Fez. Le Matin and J-PAL document its presentation.
The king requests publication and explanation of the conclusions, according to the ceremony report. The document proposes a development path; its presentation is separate from legislation implementing every recommendation or achievement of its goals. OFPPT documents an initial institutional discussion the next day.
On 14 April 2021 at the Royal Palace in Fez, Mohammed VI presides over the launch of implementation of expanded social protection and the first agreements, according to the Finance Ministry.
The programme falls under framework law 09-21. The ceremony opens a phased rollout: health coverage, benefits and populations actually reached require verification at each stage. The launch does not establish completed universal coverage on that date.
On 28 January 2021 at the Royal Palace in Fez, Mohammed VI launches Morocco’s national Covid-19 vaccination campaign and receives a first dose, according to the official statement and press coverage.
The announced programme provides for gradual rollout and free vaccination. Ibn Sina University Hospital reports starting its own operations that evening. The date marks the campaign’s launch, rather than completion of population coverage.
