The relationship between America and Morocco: UNE’s Anouar Majid interviewed by Moroccan newspaper ‘Hespress’
Moroccan newspaper Hespress conducted an in-depth interview with University of New England Vice President of Communications and Global Affairs Anouar Majid, Ph.D., about the long history between the United States and Morocco and how the two nations forged a lasting friendship.
The article began with a discussion about Morocco being the first country to recognize the United States as an independent country. Majid credited Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah with starting the relationship, citing his enlightened ideas and interest in peace. Majid then explained how future Moroccan leaders assisted the U.S. in its early years, how the U.S. defined the principles of a republican system of government and how the Enlightenment influenced the American Revolution.
