RABAT: “In view of the historic turning point in the process of the national Cause, and mindful of the decisive developments brought about by Resolution 2797/2025 of the UN Security Council, which was the subject of the recent address by His Majesty King Mohammed VI to His faithful people, it has been decided to proclaim October 31 of each year as a national holiday and an occasion on which His Majesty the King grants His royal pardon.
His Majesty has graciously named this national holiday ‘Aid Al Wahda’ (Unity Day) — a celebration symbolizing national unity and reaffirming the Kingdom’s unwavering commitment to its territorial integrity. This day shall serve as a unifying national occasion to express loyalty to Morocco’s sacred values and legitimate rights.
It has also been decided that the Royal Speech will henceforth be delivered on two official occasions:
– The Speech on the Glorious Throne Day, and
– The Speech at the Opening of the Parliament.
In his capacity as Commander of the Faithful and Head of State, His Majesty the King reserves the right to address the Moroccan people at any time and on any occasion he deems appropriate.
The festivities marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Green March will proceed as planned, although the Sovereign will not deliver a speech to the Nation on this occasion.”
