On August 10, 2026, the Moroccan community living abroad will commemorate the National Day of Moroccans Abroad under the theme "Moroccans Abroad in Service of Morocco's 2030 Projects." This event will feature celebrations and gatherings across various provinces and regions of the kingdom, coordinated with the Ministry of the Interior. The commemoration of this day reflects the special attention that King Mohammed VI pays to Moroccan expatriates, as well as the desire to engage Moroccans visiting the kingdom during the summer in active participation in this day’s events, facilitating their interaction with institutions and administrations concerned with their issues and interests.
The National Day of Moroccans Abroad, celebrated annually on August 10, serves as an opportunity to strengthen the bonds between Moroccans worldwide and their homeland. Since its establishment by King Mohammed VI in 2003, this day has also become a platform to address the significant challenges and aspirations of this community, especially given the rapid changes and current challenges they face.
This year's celebration holds particular significance as it coincides with a national context characterized by the acceleration of major strategic projects launched by the kingdom aimed at 2030. These projects encompass infrastructure development, attracting investments, accelerating digital transformation, successful energy transition, water resource management, and modernizing public services.
Furthermore, this occasion comes at a time when Morocco is preparing to host the FIFA World Cup in 2030, an extraordinary opportunity to enhance economic, social, and spatial development while showcasing the capabilities of the kingdom on both national and international stages. The National Day of Moroccans Abroad aims to highlight the status of Moroccan talents residing abroad and to recognize their contributions across various fields, particularly in science, economics, technology, and culture, while also addressing the difficulties and challenges they encounter.
Additionally, this event seeks to improve communication mechanisms and support for Moroccans living abroad, enhancing their involvement in national development projects and shedding light on the role they can play in supporting the strategic initiatives underway in the kingdom. Their expertise, experiences, and networks can significantly contribute to the developmental path leading to 2030.
