French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean Yves Le Drian, begins a two-day visit to Morocco on Sunday, focusing on strengthening bilateral cooperation, the French Foreign Affairs Ministry has announced.

During this visit, the French official will meet minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans Abroad, Nasser Bourita, to “discuss the strengthening of bilateral cooperation, including the fight against illegal immigration and regional and international issues,” said spokeswoman of the Quai d’Orsay.

Le Drian will visit the Mohammed VI Institute for the Training of Imams, Morchidines and Morchidates in Rabat, created in 2015 by HM King Mohammed VI, where he will continue “the work of explanation and appeasement initiated by the President of the Republic,” she added.

The French FM will then visit the Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, where he will sign an agreement of support from the French Development Agency to the National Museum Foundation.

Finally, Le Drian will visit the Descartes High School where an exchange will be organized, via video-conference, with all the principals of the 44 French schools in Morocco which form the second largest French educational network in the world with 44,000 students, the Quai d’Orsay spokeswoman concluded.
