French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has just returned from Morocco, where he discussed the possibility of a friendship treaty between Paris and Rabat, coupled with a visit by King Mohammed VI to France. This initiative comes amid heightened tensions: several French media outlets have revealed that Morocco allegedly used the Pegasus spyware to monitor French citizens and officials.
Sébastien Lecornu's visit to Rabat concluded with an ambitious diplomatic outlook. The French Prime Minister suggested that a strengthened partnership between the two countries could materialize through an official visit by King Mohammed VI to France, culminating in the signing of a "friendship treaty."
The timing of this rapprochement is surprising. Several French media outlets have, in fact, highlighted revelations in recent weeks about Morocco's use of the Pegasus spyware to spy on French citizens, as well as high-ranking political figures. This information has not prevented Paris from maintaining its course toward in-depth dialogue with Rabat.
Franco-Moroccan relations have been experiencing recurring turbulence for several years, marked by consular crises, migration tensions, and diplomatic disputes. Lecornu's initiative reflects a desire to turn the page and rebuild ties that both capitals consider strategic, particularly regarding security and economic issues in North Africa.
