U.S.-Morocco Counter-Terrorism Partnership
Morocco has proven that it is a perennial and valuable security and counterterrorism partner, hosting the United States’ annual bilateral-military African Lion Exercise, participating in the State Department-led Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership which directs resources and personnel to combat radical insurgents such as Al- Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, and collaborating as a Major Non-NATO ally in the region and beyond.
Progressive Reforms and Stability
King Mohammed VI has embraced and encouraged progressive reforms to make Morocco's government more democratic, transparent, and accountable, such as enacting a new constitution (2011), which among other measures, reserves Parliament seats for women and reaffirms Morocco’s commitment to religious freedom, freedom of expression, equal opportunity for all, respect for the rule of law, and ethnic pluralism.
Morocco's economic growth has averaged 3-4% annually, and the Kingdom's GDP has nearly tripled to more than USD 110 billion since the King's enthronement in 1999. The Kingdom enjoys political stability, robust infrastructure, and a strategic location, which have contributed to its emergence as a regional manufacturing and export base for international companies.
