Emmanuel Macron responds to the invitation of King Mohammed VI

French President Emmanuel Macron will make a state visit to Morocco at the end of October, the Élysée announced on Friday. This visit marks a turning point in Franco-Moroccan relations, which have been strained in recent years.

Invited by King Mohammed VI, Emmanuel Macron should take advantage of this trip to give new impetus to bilateral cooperation in many strategic areas. The two countries thus wish to turn the page on recent tensions, particularly linked to the Sahara issue.
