Promoting and fostering friendly relations and cooperative ties
in every domain between Morocco and the United Kingdom requires
strong actions and effective planning. As a consequence, the
MBS will – according to its statutes – “cooperate
with official institutions and organs of both states, with which
it shall conclude cooperative agreements.”
Within the framework of its mission, the MBS will notably:
Organize and manage the mechanisms necessary for reciprocal
information between both Moroccan and British circles interested
in the essential historical aspects of both countries, their
contemporary reality, and the forms of bilateral cooperation
between the two States;
Conduct various studies that would allow better knowledge
of both countries;
Create, promote and assist existing Moroccan and British
entities in charge of developing bilateral cooperative actions
in economic, academic, scientific, financial, and trade sectors
in the two countries;
Initiate, promote, and assist the exchange of academics
and students by facilitating their recruitment, their reception
and stay within institutions of higher education in each of
the two countries, namely by granting them scholarships;
Promote the teaching and the use of the English language in
primary and secondary education by providing teachers and
students with appropriate pedagogical materials, and by allocating
annual excellence prizes for the most distinguished instructors
and the best English language learners;
Organize and sponsor seminars, work sessions, conferences
aiming at allowing Moroccan and British people to meet, improve
mutual understanding, and establish relations of common interest;
Organize or sponsor cultural events allowing artists from
the two countries to meet each other, and present their works
in public within the framework of festivals;
Edit and publish newsletters of these activities in order
to inform the public;
Promote the publication and dissemination of books in all
fields, likely to help develop a better knowledge of contemporary
authors in each country, and create or participate in the
creation of cultural centres or libraries, which would be
stocked with reference books of each culture;
Allocate an annual prize to reward Moroccan or British citizens
whose works are likely to reinforce cooperation between the
two peoples and to enhance mutual understanding;
Create, in cooperation with official and private organizations
working towards a similar objective, partnership relations
in order to capitalize on existing goodwill and reinforce
cooperation between the Kingdom of Morocco and the United
Kingdom.
