Date: 2024-10-29

The agreements, signed during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to Morocco, cover various sectors, including infrastructure, energy, and education.

A key highlight of the visit was the reaffirmation of France’s support for Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara. President Macron emphasized that the future of Western Sahara lies within Moroccan sovereignty.

The two countries also agreed to strengthen their cooperation in areas such as renewable energy, particularly green hydrogen, and water management. The collaboration between Morocco’s Institute for Research in Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN) and French institutions is expected to drive innovation and sustainable development.

The visit further solidified the strong economic ties between the two countries. French companies continue to invest in Morocco, particularly in the automotive and tourism sectors. The high-speed rail line between Tangier and Casablanca, a joint project between Morocco and France, is a testament to the successful collaboration between the two nations.

By deepening their partnership, Morocco and France aim to address global challenges and promote regional stability. The agreements signed during the visit will undoubtedly contribute to the economic and social development of both countries.
