Organised from 25 to 27 January at the Academy of the Kingdom by the Royal Institute for Research on the History of Morocco, this symposium aims to explore the relationship between Morocco and the United States on different levels, namely history, anthropology, political science, literature, musicology and other humanities and social sciences.
This symposium takes place in the framework of the celebration of the 80th anniversary of two important events in the history of bilateral relations, namely the American landing in Morocco during Operation Torch (November 1942) and the Anfa Conference (January 1943).
The inaugural lecture was given by the Director of the Royal Institute for Research on the History of Morocco, Mohammed Kenbib, who reviewed the history of Moroccan-American relations, since Morocco's recognition of the independence of the United States under the reign of Sultan Sidi Mohammed ben Abdellah (1757-1790).
