Under the Effective Presidency of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him, the Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity is launching the 2022 edition of the Marhaba operation to welcome Moroccans residing abroad, which starts on June 5 2022.
This edition is marked by the implementation of the global reception system in Morocco, France, Italy and Spain, as well as the opening of new reception sites in Morocco to support the return members of the community whose attendance forecasts promise to be significant, indicates a press release from the Foundation.
The Mohammed V Foundation for Solidarity, which contributes to the operation with all national stakeholders, has activated 23 reception areas, specifies the same source.
The 17 operational reception sites in Morocco are located in the ports of Tanger Med, Tanger-ville, Al Hoceima and Nador, in the entrances of Bab sebta and Bab Mellilia, in the airports of Casablanca Mohammed V, Oujda Angad, Agadir Al Massira, Fez Saïss, Marrakech Menara and Tanger Ibn Battouta as well as in the Mediterranean, Jebha and Tazaghine rest areas.
