250th anniversary of US independence celebrated at chellah in Rabat

At the historic Chellah site in Rabat, the United States Embassy marked the 250th anniversary of American independence with a special event that underscored the deep ties between Morocco and the United States. This year’s celebration, held for the first time at the ancient ruins of Chellah, brought together Moroccan officials, diplomats, and representatives from both the public and private sectors to honor nearly 250 years of shared history.

The choice of Chellah as the venue was no coincidence—its millennia-old ruins provided a powerful backdrop for a gathering that highlighted the enduring partnership between the two nations. In a world reshaped by shifting geopolitical and economic currents, Washington reaffirmed its commitment to a strategic alliance described as stronger than ever before.
