Morocco officially inaugurated its new Consulate General in Miami on Monday, marking a significant step in strengthening ties with Moroccan nationals across nearly 20 southern U.S. states. The ceremony was attended by local American officials, including the mayors of Miami, Hollywood, and Boynton Beach, as well as members of the Moroccan diaspora. According to a press release, the new diplomatic mission is intended to serve as both an administrative hub and a powerful symbol of Morocco's continued connection with its citizens abroad. Speaking at the event, Moroccan Ambassador to the U.S., Youssef Amrani, described the opening as «a sign of Morocco's deep commitment to its community abroad» and a reflection of King Mohammed VI's vision for inclusive and efficient public service reform. He described the Miami consulate not only as a service center but as «a renewed act of confidence and faith in a shared future». Chafika El Habti, Morocco's Consul General in Miami, emphasized the consulate's modern, forward-looking approach, with a strong focus on digitalization and e-services — essential given the consulate's jurisdiction stretching from Florida to California. She called the post a «strategic breakthrough» for Morocco, citing Miami's economic vitality and its role as a gateway to Latin and South America.
