Former U.S. President Bill Clinton has commended Morocco’s commitment to promoting human rights and strengthening peace, security and stability in the world, hailing the longstanding and strong friendship ties existing between Morocco and the United States and between the royal family and the Clintons.

The 42nd President of the United States made the remarks Tuesday in Marrakesh during the 2023 Aviram Awards ceremony honoring young and promising entrepreneurs in the Middle East for their outstanding work to improve the lives of the world population through business, innovation, and technology.

Mr. Clinton also thanked King Mohammed VI for Morocco’s hosting the event, describing the Kingdom as a country with rich cultural heritage, an important bridge between continents and a fascinating melting pot of civilizations.

For his part, Ziv Aviram, the Founder & President of Aviram Foundation, said that: “it’s not a coincidence that we’ve chosen Morocco for the final event”.
“This is a great country that represents a blooming tech industry, inspired by local startups, that many of them, define their mission to improve lives in the region”, he underlined.
