France and Morocco moved on Thursday to strengthen a renewed partnership that has flourished over the past two years, with French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu hailing their "exceptionally positive" ties in Rabat.
Lecornu praised the diplomatic advances Paris and Rabat have achieved since President Emmanuel Macron backed Morocco's sovereignty claim over the disputed Western Sahara in 2024. He described the two countries' ties as being at a "turning point", saying that France sought to deepen cooperation particularly on security and counterterrorism.
