King Mohammed VI a very modern king, leading his country toward democracy and modernity, US ambassador
Morocco's King Mohammed VI is a very modern king who is moving this country at the pace that makes sense, more towards democracy, more towards modernity, US ambassador to Morocco, Margaret Tutwiller told NBC TV Channel.
The US diplomat, who was interviewed by NBC's Matt Lauer, explained that the sovereign "is for women. One of his priorities is the increase in education of women. So he's a very modern monarch."
In fact, she went on, the king, just like our president, people at home might be surprised to know, has a number of female advisers.
"As far as what Americans should know about Morocco, Morocco looks west. We have a 225-year relationship with it. And they are a very tolerant people who like Americans," she stated answering a question about misperceptions between Americans and Moroccans.
To another question on the last April's demonstration to support the Palestinian people, Tutwiler argued that demonstration was not anti-American. It was truly an outpouring of sincere support and solidarity with the Palestinian people, and it was done peacefully."
