Prince Moulay Rachid dedicates american school in Marrakesh

Morocco's Prince Moulay Rachid dedicated Thursday the American School of Marrakesh.

The school, which cost some 22 million Dirhams ($1.9 Mln) is built on 8 hectares, 6,600 m2 of which are covered, and has six classrooms.

During the dedication ceremony, president of the School's Administrative board, American embassy advisor for public affairs, underscored the importance of such a school in strengthening centuries-old friendly relations between Morocco and the United States.

The Moroccan people's support to the American people following last September's attacks showed that the USA and the Arab-Islamic world are doomed to endeavor to promote understanding through promoting cultural and academic exchanges, a member of the US embassy stressed.
