Speaking at the headquarters of the Islamic World Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ICESCO) in the large conference hall, Azoulay welcomed the “unprecedented opportunity, but so rich in meaning, that he was given today to speak before ICESCO.”
“What other country than my country, Morocco, could have embodied as we do together this morning, this lucid, determined and uninhibited message of what diversity, citizenship and pluralism can be and can say in the land of Islam,” emphasized HM the King’s Advisor, who was the guest of the “Interviews of the Future” initiative, organized by ICESCO’s Center for Strategic Prospective.
Azoulay added: “This is neither an exercise in protocol nor a passing comment,” highlighting “the exceptional aggiornamento that Morocco is undergoing, which confirms the pioneering and visionary nature of the strategic choices and reforms implemented by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, reforms that have consecrated Morocco’s exemplarity within a Community of Nations in search of benchmarks, and which has now taken the right measure of this Moroccan reality that has imposed itself on all”.
In conclusion, HM the King’s advisor emphasized that this Moroccan reality is now supported and embodied by as many people as possible, recalling “the ever-wider, more committed, more militant and more voluntarist consensus of Moroccan civil society, which listens to all narratives and proudly embraces this dynamic for more and better in a Morocco that has become the international benchmark for the art of all possibilities”.
For his part, ICESCO Director General Salim Al Malik noted that the conference aims to promote ideas with transformative potential to shape our common future.
“Through engaging conversations and profound exchanges, we navigate a realm teeming with boundless possibilities, unveiling audacious concepts that possess the capacity to redefine the world that awaits us”, Al Malik emphasized.
The purpose, he added, shall be “to delve into subjects that hold paramount significance, in an era defined by relentless change, marked by shifting economic paradigms, complex societal challenges, and above all unprecedented advancements in technology.”
Through this conference, “we shall venture beyond the confines of conventional wisdom, harnessing the power of collective intellect to unearth profound insights that shall illuminate our path toward brighter futures,” concluded Al Malik.
