The Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Living Abroad, Nasser Bourita, held talks on Thursday in Rabat with Christian Cambon, President of the France-Morocco Friendship Group in the French Senate, who is leading a delegation on a working visit to the Kingdom. Speaking to the press following the meeting, Cambon expressed satisfaction with the «fruitful exchanges» between the two sides and emphasized the importance of the long-standing bilateral dialogue. He described the 2024–2025 period as rich in positive developments, recalling in particular the state visit by French President Emmanuel Macron to Morocco in October 2024, during which France reaffirmed its support for the Kingdom's sovereignty over the Sahara. Cambon noted that the delegation members, «bringing together diverse perspectives but united in their respect and affection for Morocco», came to reaffirm their commitment to helping write a new chapter in French-Moroccan relations, in line with the vision of King Mohammed VI and President Macron. To deepen this privileged partnership, Cambon called for the reactivation of the Moroccan-French Interparliamentary Forum, whose fourth and most recent edition was held in December 2019 in Paris. On the topic of renewable energy, Cambon described Morocco's experience as «inspiring», saying he believes that Morocco and France can work together to shape a new vision for the African continent in this vital sector. Beyond the traditional cultural and scientific ties and strong people-to-people connections, Cambon said that parliamentary diplomacy offers additional avenues to strengthen the relationship between Rabat and Paris.
