The chairman of the Morocco-France friendship group of the House of Advisors, Mohamed Zidouh, and the chairman of the France-Morocco friendship group of the French Senate, Christian Cambon, renewed, on Friday, their commitment to strengthen the ties of friendship and cooperation that unite the two parliamentary chambers, at the end of a three-day visit of a delegation of the Chamber of Councilors to Paris and Normandy.
The delegation was received at the Senate by President Gérard Larcher, who underlined the importance of parliamentary diplomacy and cooperation with Morocco, a reliable partner working for the stability of the Sahel-Saharan region, says a joint communiqué of the two friendship groups.
After a meeting with the members of the France-Morocco friendship group and a greeting before the senators gathered in public session, the delegation met at the Quai d’Orsay with Olivier Becht, Minister Delegate to the Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, in charge of foreign trade, attraction and French residents abroad, the statement said.
The presidents of the two friendship groups “welcomed the lifting of visa restrictions for Moroccans”, a “long-awaited” decision, the document adds.
Moreover, economic development opportunities between the two countries were at the center of the exchanges organized with the French Business Movement (Medef), a few days after the adoption by the Moroccan Parliament of a framework law on the investment charter.
The Moroccan delegation also highlighted the great progress made by Morocco in the field of energy transition, a subject that was at the heart of the visit to the EDF Paris-Saclay Research and Development Center, the source continues, specifying that the visit to the Cherbourg shipyards (Normandy) allowed them to discover the facilities of the Naval Group, an international player in naval defense, and to exchange views on the possibilities of cooperation in the field of defense.
In addition, the two presidents of the friendship group took part in a ceremony to rekindle the flame under the Arc de Triomphe, thus paying tribute to the friendship that has united the two countries throughout history.
In addition to Zidouh (Istiqlali Parliamentary Group of Unity and Egalitarianism), the Moroccan delegation was composed of the president of the Authenticity and Modernity Group, Khammar Mrabit, the president of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises Group (CGEM), Youssef Alaoui, Hind Ghazzali, of the National Grouping of Independents Group, Nabil El Yazidi, of the Haraka Group and Aziz Mokannef of the Socialist Group, the statement concluded.
