The United States Mission in Morocco has announced the relocation of the U.S. Consulate General from its current location in Casablanca to a newly established compound in Casa Finance City. This significant move, scheduled for later this month, aims to enhance consular services and cultural engagement within the framework of the longstanding partnership between the United States and Morocco. The transition is part of a broader initiative to modernize the diplomatic presence in the region.
According to the official announcement from the U.S. Mission, April 21 will mark the final day for American Citizen Services and visa processing at the Boulevard Moulay Youssef location, with operations set to resume at the Casa Finance City site on April 28. Additionally, the cultural center known as Dar America will close its doors at the Gauthier site on April 10 and will reopen at the new location on May 5, fostering a more vibrant cultural exchange.
Ambassador Duke Buchan expressed enthusiasm about this new chapter, stating, "As we open the doors to our new consulate general in Casablanca, we celebrate not only a modern symbol of American diplomacy, but also the enduring 250-year-old friendship between the United States and Morocco." This move reflects the commitment of both nations to strengthen diplomatic ties and enhance collaboration in various sectors.
