The Moroccan Ministry of Royal Household, Protocol and Chancellery has flatly denied news posted Wednesday by the Spanish e-paper, El Imparcial, claiming that King Mohammed VI's visit to France was intended to receive health care, stressing that the monarch is in "good health." The journey of the king to Paris was part of a private visit to "take some rest" and "not to receive any health care of undergo whatever surgery," a press release of the ministry said, according to MAP.

 

King Mohammed, 45,  was enthroned July 23, 1999, just hours after the death of his father.
