The African Lion 2023 military exercise reflects the strength of the strategic partnership between Morocco and the United States which serves peace and stability and stands against growing security threats in the region and in Africa, American experts underlined in Washington. Commending the FAR’s high level of professionalism and capacities, the American expert stressed the importance of the humanitarian events held within the framework of the “African Lion”, mainly the deployment of a field medical-surgical hospital supervised by a Moroccan-American multidisciplinary team. In the same vein, George Landrith, a chronicler, said that the “African Lion” is the biggest exercise in Africa, organized by Morocco and the United States, with the participation of African and European countries. The military exercise took place from June 5 to 16 in several regions of Morocco with the participation of 6,000 soldiers representing 14 countries. The annual event helps consolidate Moroccan-American military cooperation and strengthen exchanges between the Armed Forces of different countries in a bid to promote security and stability in the region.
