On July 16, Sébastien Lecornu will co-chair the Moroccan-French High-Level Joint Commission alongside Morocco’s Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch. This landmark meeting will focus on strengthening bilateral cooperation across critical sectors, including energy, defense, and economic partnerships. The agenda reflects both countries’ commitment to deepening their strategic alliance and exploring new avenues for collaboration.

The timing of this visit aligns with the recent appointment of France’s new ambassador to Morocco, Philippe Lalliot, who will play a key role in facilitating these discussions.
