One year ago today I left #Ottawa in a snowstorm and arrived in #Rabat, where I was welcomed by the stellar team @CanEmbMorocco π One year on I am more convinced than ever of the promise of the π¨π¦π²π¦ relationship. Hereβs why (thread!) 1/10 -
After presenting copies of my letters to Minister Bourita @Marocdiplo_EN it was a singular honour to present my credentials on behalf of Canadaβs Governor General @GGJuliePayette to His Majesty King Mohammed VI, enacting one of the essential rites of diplomacy. 2/10
Very soon after, we were delighted to receive @FP_Champagne for a bilateral visit showcasing the breadth & depth of π¨π¦π²π¦ relations: the agenda included meetings with @ChefGov_ma, @Marocdiplo_EN, #youth and #women representatives. 3/10
My first 4 months in Morocco, untouched by #COVID19 (hamdullah!) were filled with face-to-face encounters with wonderful people in several parts of the country: #SoussMassa, #MiddleAtlas, #Fez, #Zagora, #Ouazarzate, #Marrakech & more 4/10
I have been especially inspired by those working for greater #equality and #rights for women and girls. I have been proud to support their #GenderEquality efforts on Canadaβs behalf through:
5/10
5/10
Dialogue with political and economic leaders, thinkers and activists 6/10
International assistance cooperation to support womenβs voice and representation in decision-making, womenβs economic empowerment #WEE, entrepreneurship, #SRHR and #EndGenderbasedViolence 7/10
Advocacy and local initiatives 8/10
When #COVID19 came to Morocco @CanEmbMorocco repatriated 2700 Canadians.
And we adapted our own ways of working 9/10
And we adapted our own ways of working 9/10
Today, guided by Canadaβs #FeministForeignPolicy, we carry forward with our priorities - in diplomacy, international trade, development and security cooperation, migration and consular support.
And look forward to the years ahead! 10/10
