Al-Saadi confirmed in a statement to the press on the occasion of his inauguration today, Thursday, as Secretary of State to the Minister of Tourism, that he is proud of this royal assignment, and he is a marginal son whose organizational work and presence in the political field suffice for him to hold such a position.
The same speaker considered that his assumption of this position was a message to Moroccan youth about the possibility of assuming responsibility in order to change Morocco’s reality, stressing that “confidence in our country, its qualifications, and in the Moroccan dream will be cut short with the speeches of despair and populism that promote a bleak picture among Moroccan youth.”
Al-Saadi pointed out that the sector that he will be responsible for managing is “a very important sector that plays major roles both at the employment level and at the level of preserving the Moroccan identity,” adding that it “employs millions of Moroccans and contributes to the gross domestic product by about 7%.”
The same spokesman stated that this sector “high hopes are placed on it in the second phase of the government headed by Aziz Akhannouch in creating employment dynamism and contributing to the royal enterprise in strengthening the social pillars of the state,” stressing that it “will work within the framework of the ministry’s strategy in order to achieve its goals and overcome a group of challenges.” The problems presented.”
It is noteworthy that King Mohammed VI received, yesterday, Wednesday, in the Throne Room of the Royal Palace in Rabat, the Prime Minister and members of the government in its new formation after the restructuring of government engineering.
