Morocco and France Prepare Historic Agreement to Revitalize Partnership – La Nouvelle Tribune

During the 15th Morocco-France High-Level Meeting in Rabat on July 16, 2026, Prime Ministers Sébastien Lecornu and Aziz Akhannouch announced the preparation of an 'extraordinary friendship treaty.' This future agreement, expected to be signed during King Mohammed VI's state visit to France, aims to deepen bilateral cooperation beyond the Enhanced Exceptional Partnership. Discussions cover security, counterterrorism, European affairs, and African development. This momentum follows France's support for Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara in July 2024 and Emmanuel Macron's state visit to Morocco in October 2024.
