Morocco is the gateway to Africa, while Kazakhstan is the gateway to Central Asia. Day by day, the two countries are growing closer.
The first guest of the Life of a Diplomat program is the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Kingdom of Morocco to Kazakhstan, Mohamed Rachid Maaninou. He shares how Kazakhstan came to recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara, how the visa requirement for Kazakh citizens was lifted, and how an extensive cultural exchange program was launched.
The conversation also touches on energy, logistics, legal initiatives, and direct flights that are expanding the horizons of tourism and business.
Personal stories were also shared - the diplomatic tradition of a single family, a painting from the Louvre, a traditional yurt at the ambassador’s residence, and the life principles that lead to success in international diplomacy.
