King Mohammed VI's state visit to France is now confirmed. The announcement was made jointly on Wednesday, May 20, in Rabat by the foreign ministers of both countries, Nasser Bourita and Jean-Noël Barrot, during a joint press conference. No specific date has yet been announced, but both capitals confirm that the Moroccan monarch's trip is indeed on the diplomatic agenda.

A strategic treaty is in preparation

This visit will be marked by the signing of a treaty between Paris and Rabat, strengthening the strategic ties between the two nations. It is part of a broader diplomatic sequence, as a meeting of the Franco-Moroccan High Joint Commission is scheduled for next July. This bilateral body will prepare the ground for the royal visit and identify the main areas of cooperation that will be formalized during the trip.

Relations between France and Morocco have seen a notable warming in recent months. The Kingdom of Morocco remains a key economic and security partner for Paris, particularly on migration issues and the fight against terrorism. This state visit, which will be King Mohammed VI's first to France in several years, is expected to mark a new stage in the partnership between the two countries.
