Ambassador Maliki told ANI, 'Today is about celebrating our shared happiness and bright destiny. The large turnout today signifies the strong friendship between our two countries. Morocco's long, cultural heritage has flourished under the 25-year reign of King Mohammed VI. His monarchy represents a deep communion between the people and their king.'

Discussing the evolving Morocco-India relationship, Maliki pointed to the significant increase in bilateral trade, growing from USD1.1 billion in 2015 to USD4.2 billion in 2022, and a rise in the presence of Indian companies in Morocco.
