"King Mohammed VI's vision of a democratic Morocco, modern and open on the world has now become reality," wrote on Wednesday French weekly magazine "Point de Vue," in an illustrated special report on the sovereign's tour in the Kingdom's eastern region (March 10-18).

Citing the new international airport in Nador, the speedway linking Fez to Oujda, the project of a vast industrial area in Berkane, and the opening of a new resort in Saidia, the magazine stressed that "never has Morocco witnessed such a dash and will to modernize."
"Point de Vue" went on to say that this ambitious program is targeting one of the most under-equipped Moroccan regions, bordering Algeria.
In Oujda, "the sovereign's call for a united Morocco, developed, democratic (..) and more capable of meeting all challenges didn't fall to a deaf ear," said the weekly, adding the King's visit was met with popular fervor in this city, founded in the 10th century.
"(..) The sovereign, has chosen to alleviate the sufferings of his most destitute subjects, through the Mohammed V solidarity Foundation V, by announcing the creation of hospitals, training centers and children shelters," adds "Point de Vue."
The weekly concluded that King Mohammed VI "builder of tomorrow's Morocco, wants to break off with the social gap."
