Morocco's king appoints five new ministers

Xinhua,January 23, 2018 Adjust font size:

RABAT, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- The Moroccan King Mohammed VI appointed on Monday five new ministers, the king's office announced in a statement.

The new ministers are appointed in the ministries of education, health, national planning, vocational training and foreign affairs, the statement said.

Four new ministers replaced the ministers who were dismissed by the king late October over their involvement in delays of development projects in the northeastern city of Al Hoceima that was rocked by protests for months in 2017.

The fifth minister is appointed at a new ministerial department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in charge of African affairs. Enditem
