Another milestone for France-Morocco relations as French Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu arrived in Rabat onednesday.
Lecornuย andย hisย teamย areย scheduledย toย holdย highย levelย talksย onย security,ย defence,ย investmentย andย economicย cooperation.
The two-day visit is a sign of increasing French efforts to rebuild ties with its former North African colony.
After years of tensions, the two countries reset their diplomatic relations in 2024, when France recognized Moroccoโs claim over the disputed Western Sahara teritory.
With its influence in North Africa and the Sahel under pressure, Paris is eager to find reliable partners in the region, as Turkey, China and the US deepen their ties aross Africa.
Lastย month,ย theย Africanย Developmentย Bankย placedย Moroccoย topย ofย Africaโsย industrializationย rankings,ย thanksย toย โindustrialย upgrading,ย exportย diversification,ย andย strongย industrialย policy.โ
Paris is hoping closer economic ties will help it recoup losses . For Morocco, the partnership offers access to investment ad technology.
