King Mohammed VI Taking Pictures, Greeting Moroccans in Amsterdam

PERSISMA, Rabat – This week will be a memorable week for Moroccans living in the Netherlands, especially for those who had the chance to cross paths with King Mohammed VI, greet him and take pictures with him.

A news video posted on YouTube on Sunday shows what many describe as “incredible” scenes of the Moroccan monarch greeting and taking pictures with hundreds of Moroccans who gathered outside of his hotel and waited to give him a warm welcome in Amsterdam.

Without protocol, the Moroccan King appears shaking hands with many people and stops to take pictures with them.

People outside of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Amsterdam express their love for the King by chanting songs to his glory and wishing a long, healthy life.

“We are blessed with the visit of His Majesty the King to the Netherlands. This shows again how loved he is and how he is trying to approach his compatriots living abroad,” Abdelbasset Zaghdoud, a Moroccan Dutch businessman told Morocco World News.
