The French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, is set to make his inaugural official trip to Rabat on July 15th, marking a pivotal moment in Morocco-France relations. The following day, he will co-chair the Haute Commission mixte maroco-française alongside Aziz Akhannouch, Morocco’s Head of Government. This high-level summit will focus on bolstering bilateral ties across critical sectors such as energy, defense, and economic cooperation.
