PoliticsFrench PM heads to Rabat in pivotal visit for bilateral ties

France’s prime minister has arrived in Morocco accompanied by a delegation of officials. Choosing Rabat for the first overseas trip is presented as significant as Paris seeks to turn a diplomatic rapprochement into a wider strategic partnership. If the visit goes well, Morocco’s Mohammed VI could potentially travel to France. The discussions are also expected to cover new French investments and partnerships, with defence and civil nuclear projects particularly prominent on the agenda.
