French President Emmanuel Macron addressed Morocco’s Parliament, supporting King Mohammed VI's vision for a stronger Euro-African partnership, with Morocco as a pivotal ally in the Sahel. He emphasized France’s commitment to joint projects in youth development, stability, and economic cooperation across the continent.
Following the Malian Prime Minister’s accusatory speech at the UN about Algeria, Morocco’s permanent representative to the UN supported Bamako’s claims, accusing Algiers of playing a dubious role in the Sahel and Sahara.
Ahead of his meeting with his Moroccan counterpart in Paris, Stéphane Séjourné emphasized that France economically recognizes Morocco’s sovereignty over Sahara on economy matters. This recognition should encourage other countries, such as Germany, to follow Paris' lead. The head of diplomacy left the diplomatic side of the full recognition to King Mohammed VI and President Emmanuel Macron.
