Morocco, Economics, 2/2/1999
King Hassan II on Monday said that the Moroccan people should be thankful to God that all its rivers stem from within its own borders.
The Moroccan people should be thankful to God "that all its rivers stem from within its own borders. This is a blessing to which we do not pay much attention," the King said, while receiving Jacques Diouf, director general of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Diouf awarded to the sovereign the FAO "Agricola" medal in recognition of his efforts to promote agriculture and develop the rural world.
King Hassan II underlined that the Moroccan people should pay keen attention to the existence, in their country, of 3,000 km-long coasts on the Atlantic ocean and on the Mediterranean sea, "source of life, food and a driving force."
He also expressed pride that an African national heads the FAO.
