French President Emmanuel Macron extended an official invitation to King Mohammed VI for a state visit to France, which the King accepted.

The date will be finalized through diplomatic channels.

The two engaged today at the Royal Palace in Rabat, in talks that sought to usher in a new era of relations between Morocco and France, aimed at establishing a renewed partnership and a strategic roadmap for the future.

Both leaders intend to elevate their multifaceted relationship, addressing shared ambitions and jointly confronting international challenges.

The conversation also delved into regional and global issues. They agreed on the importance of strengthening Euro-Mediterranean, African, and Atlantic cooperation, promoting joint efforts for prosperity and sustainable development.

Emphasizing the need for a deepened partnership between the two shores of the Mediterranean, they highlighted the goal of creating a more stable, sustainable, and prosperous region while tackling pressing socio-economic and environmental concerns.

President Macron praised King Mohammed VI’s constructive role as Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee in fostering peace in the Middle East. Together, they called for an immediate cessation of attacks in Gaza and Lebanon, stressing the critical need to protect civilians and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid. They also underscored the urgency of revitalizing the peace process, advocating for a two-state solution with an independent Palestinian State based on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
