Morocco’s Consulate General in Montpellier relocated to newly built premises on Monday, marking a significant step forward in the commitment to a modern, accessible, and community-centered consular service that meets the needs of the Moroccan community in southern France.
This initiative is in line with the High Guidelines of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, which aim to meet the expectations of Moroccan expatriates through a proximity-based and efficient approach, while reflecting the values of openness and attachment to national culture.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by His Majesty the King’s Ambassador to Paris, Samira Sitail, along with several French dignitaries, including local authorities, elected officials, and members of the Moroccan community.
In a statement to MAP, Sitail said that the new premises are a modern and functional space of proximity that meets the requirements of the evolving Moroccan-French relationship.
“It is a modern facility designed to serve the nearly 200,000 Moroccans in the region, strengthen human, cultural, and economic ties with France, and level up to the expectations of our diaspora, in accordance with the High Royal Guidelines.”
This consulate is much more than just an administrative office, she emphasized, noting that it serves as a genuine human and symbolic link between Moroccans living abroad and their homeland.
The Montpellier consular district covers six departments in southern France (Hérault, Gard, Ardèche, Aveyron, Pyrénées-Orientales, and Rodez), home to nearly 200,000 Moroccan nationals.
