France’s Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu on a visit to Morocco said the two countries were entering a new phase in their relationship.
He said both were seeking to scale up their bilateral relations followed the renewed momentum in 2024 after years of tensions.
The two countries reset their diplomatic relations that year, when France recognised Morocco’s claim over the disputed territory of Western Sahara.
With its influence in North Africa and the Sahel under pressure, Paris hopes to cement the rapprochement during Lecornu’s 2-day visit to Rabat.
Speaking at the opening of the 15th Morocco-France High-Level Meeting in Rabat, Lecornu described the gathering as a “turning point” in relations between the two countries.
