After seven years of deadlock, the Morocco-France High Joint Commission will meet next week in Rabat. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu will be accompanied by around ten ministers for the high-level meeting, which marks a new stage in the rapprochement between the two countries.
A U.S. Senate defense bill would require the Pentagon to implement the 2026–2036 U.S.-Morocco Defense Cooperation Roadmap through a plan focused on military modernization, counterterrorism, drones, cybersecurity and expanded joint exercises. It also calls for submitting the full roadmap to Congress, offering the clearest picture yet of the agreement signed by Washington and Rabat in April.
