01:43 "A visit to the first ministerial meeting on coordination for the Atlantic Initiative
01:53 of His Majesty King Mohammed VI with Swell Gelly."
01:59 "Ladies and gentlemen, ministers, dear brothers, excellencies, ladies and gentlemen."
02:04 In Marrakech, a ministerial meeting on the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic
02:09 Ocean.
02:10 On Saturday, the ministerial meeting on coordination for the international initiative of His Majesty
02:16 King Mohammed VI to promote the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic Ocean.
02:20 This royal project, which aims to improve the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic
02:25 Ocean, is part of the strategy, set up by Morocco, to make the African continent a
02:31 model of development.
02:32 "This is the most recent royal initiative for Africa.
02:41 Dear brothers, ladies and gentlemen, why the Sahel and why Morocco?
02:49 We could have been content with a 'because it's you and because it's us' as Montaigne
02:57 said when defining friendship.
02:58 But there are so many other reasons, substantial and pragmatic, that make the initiative of
03:05 His Majesty King Mohammed VI the promise of a strategic turnaround for our countries.
03:11 The first of these reasons is the tradition of cooperation, mutual aid and solidarity
03:17 that has always existed between Morocco, the sovereigns of Morocco and the Sahel countries.
03:23 The challenge of the Sahel is also ours in Morocco, by the laws of neighborhood, good
03:30 neighborhood, loyal neighborhood and old neighborhood.
03:33 Burkina Faso, on its part, welcomes all initiatives aimed at transforming its continentality
03:44 into an asset.
03:45 Because it is clear that our countries are not poor, to tell the truth.
03:51 They have long been impoverished by inappropriate policies implemented in an always reprehensible
03:59 governance.
