PROJECT DRIVEN BY A ROYAL VISION

Tanger Med is the fruit
of the royal vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI set out in his 2003 speech
to make Tanger Med “an integrated regional development model”. Tanger
Med consolidates the anchoring of the Kingdom of Morocco in the
Euro-Mediterranean area and values ?? its vocation
as pole of exchanges between Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean and the
Atlantic, and strengthens, at the same time, its central role as an active
partner in international trade and well integrated with the global economy.



“Tanger
Med complex is today the achievement of a royal ambition, voluntarist and
visionary. The implantation site wanted by His Majesty the King for this
project, at the crossroads of maritime routes has proved right and relevant
“said Mr. Fouad BRINI, President of Tanger Med. Indeed, Tanger Med is
located on the Strait of Gibraltar at the crossroads of the major maritime
routes East / West and North / South connecting Asia, Europe, the Americas and
Africa.
