US diplomat: Morocco, a model of political reforms in the region
US ambassador in Rabat, Thomas Riley, has described Morocco as a "model" of political and democratic reforms in the Middle East and North Africa region.
In an interview with the Moroccan daily "Aujourd'hui le Maroc," the US diplomat highlighted the "courageous" reforms instituted in several fields, saying he was impressed by the action undertaken in the country.
The important in this debate, he said, is to know if the experience may be reproduced in other countries.
According to the US ambassador, the two countries to host the two next editions of the Forum will be Bahrain (2006) and Jordan (2007).
Riley deemed that G8 European member countries have more interest, at a time marked by terrorism, that the Middle East and North Africa region be politically stable and economically prosperous.
