Morocco is a key geopolitical player in the Euro-Mediterranean region, said Spanish geopolitical analyst Francisco Lázaro, in a column published Wednesday in El Correo daily, describing the Kingdom as an emerging regional power, equipped with advanced industrial infrastructure and a diversified economy.
Lázaro noted that the Kingdom’s notable economic and military progress, including its attractiveness to foreign investment, the development of industrial zones, and sectoral diversification, has created favorable conditions for international companies to establish operations, particularly in the automotive, aeronautics, and renewable energy sectors.
Lázaro also emphasized the strategic importance of the Tanger Med port, describing it as one of the Mediterranean’s most significant trade hubs, linking flows between Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia.
“This infrastructure has enabled Morocco to significantly boost its export capacity and fully integrate into global supply chains,” the analyst added.
On the industrial front, the geopolitical expert notes that international groups such as Renault and Stellantis produce vehicles in Morocco for global markets, making the Kingdom the leading automotive exporter on the African continent.
Addressing the security dimension, the author of the column highlights Morocco’s strengthened capabilities in safety and stability, through the adoption of advanced technologies and a proactive approach to risk management.
This dynamic aims to consolidate national security while enhancing the Kingdom’s contribution to regional stability, particularly in the face of terrorist threats and the persistent instability in the Sahel region, he points out.
In an international context marked by the reshaping of alliances and the emergence of a multipolar world order, Francisco Lázaro emphasizes the importance of the strategic partnership between Morocco and the European Union, especially in the areas of regional security and migration management, while highlighting the Kingdom’s ability to maintain a balance in its relations with major international powers.
