King Mohammed VI of Morocco has sent a message of congratulations to President Félix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) on the occasion of his country's Independence Day, celebrated on June 30. The message, reported by the official Moroccan news agency MAP, underscores the strong ties between the two nations.
In his message, the King expressed his warm congratulations and best wishes for the continued progress and prosperity of the Congolese people. He highlighted the longstanding friendship and cooperation between Morocco and the DRC, reaffirming his commitment to strengthening bilateral relations in various fields.
The DRC gained independence from Belgium on June 30, 1960. This year marks the 66th anniversary of that historic event. The King's message is part of a tradition of diplomatic exchanges between the two countries, which have maintained close ties since Morocco's early support for African independence movements.
Morocco and the DRC have collaborated on several regional and international issues, including peace and security in Africa. The King's congratulatory message reflects the ongoing diplomatic engagement between Rabat and Kinshasa.
