The Head of Government Meets with the President of the French National Assembly

The Head of Government, Mr. Aziz Akhannouch, received on Thursday, December 12, 2024, in Rabat, the President of the French National Assembly, Ms. Yaël Braun-Pivet, who is on a working visit to Morocco as part of efforts to strengthen parliamentary cooperation mechanisms between the two countries.
During this meeting, both parties expressed their satisfaction with the longstanding and privileged relations between Morocco and France, which have been further consolidated following the signing, on October 28, 2024, of the declaration on the "Enhanced Exceptional Partnership" by His Majesty King Mohammed VI and the President of the French Republic, Mr. Emmanuel Macron. This agreement aims to enable both countries to better address the range of challenges they face by mobilizing all relevant sectors of bilateral, regional, and international cooperation.
The Head of Government praised, in this regard, the support of the French Republic for Morocco's sovereignty over the Moroccan Sahara and its endorsement of the autonomy initiative within the framework of Morocco’s territorial integrity, as the sole basis for resolving this artificial regional dispute.
He also emphasized the importance of the partnership between Morocco and France on the African continent, in light of the African vision of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, may God assist him.
The meeting further provided an opportunity to highlight the importance of consultation and coordination on parliamentary matters of mutual interest, as well as the strengthening of the mechanisms and roles of the Morocco-France Parliamentary Friendship Group.
The meeting was attended by the Vice President of the French National Assembly, Naïma Moutchou, the Secretary-General of the Assembly, Damien Chamussy, the Chair of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Bruno Fuchs, and the French Ambassador to Rabat, Christophe Lecourtier.
