HASSAN MATAI Posted 2009-06-27

I suppose that this is a good initiative to the extent that the Kingdom of Morocco will be acting in this regard under the direction of our guide, King Mohammed VI, who absolutely wants to make Morocco an exemplar country of openness. This will bring us only good on the economic and social plan. But, we need to believe in these types of actions and demonstrate our confidence to our partners throughout the world in order to meet the expectations of all of Morocco's social classes. -Hassan Matai, CEO Power Deco & Morgan Consulting, Morocco

HASSAN MATAI Posted 2009-08-01

With ten years of reign, Mohamed VI has left his mark on the Kingdom of Morocco. It must be recognized that in spite of the economic turbulence the entire world is experiences, Morocco’s young king is catching up and even making Morocco progress. He is catching up in terms of, for example, roadway infrastructure, which will serve to establish new investment. Mohamed VI is a sort of guide. He works quietly and gives himself time to judge his affairs. It is enough to just read and reread his speeches, and you will confirm they have been applied. So, Morocco is advancing on a wisdom that centres on royal observation and direction. I will end this brief comment by saying that Morocco will get there!
