A series of strategic meetings and agreements are planned to mark the occasion.
President Macron is expected to arrive in Morocco on the afternoon of Monday, October 28. His visit is anticipated to include important discussions and the signing of agreements designed to enhance cooperation between Rabat and Paris.
The visit will commence with a meeting between King Mohammed VI and President Macron, followed by a signing ceremony for multiple agreements and additional discussions with prominent Moroccan figures.
As outlined in the schedule reviewed by APANEWS, there will be meetings on Tuesday between President Macron and key Moroccan officials, including Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and the Presidents of both houses of the Moroccan Parliament, Rachid Talbi Alami and Mohamed Ould Errachid.
Accompanied by First Lady Brigitte Macron, the French President will also visit the Mohammed V Mausoleum with Mohamed Yacoubi, the Governor of the Rabat-Sale region.
On Tuesday, Macron will address the Moroccan Parliament before attending a lunch with his wife and a Franco-Moroccan cultural delegation. That evening, an official dinner hosted by the King will bring together the presidential couple and other distinguished guests at the Royal Palace.
On Wednesday, discussions on food security and sustainable agriculture in Africa will take place at the OCP Foundation headquarters, featuring Moroccan and African students. The day will conclude with a speech by Macron to the French community living in Morocco.
President Macron will be accompanied by a large delegation from France, consisting of experts and leaders from various industrial sectors. Notable figures in the delegation include Bertrand Amar, Director of E-Sports at Webedia; Estelle Brachlianoff, CEO of Veolia; and Christian Dargnat, CEO of Alphee Consulting. Representatives from the energy and telecommunications sectors will also participate.
The official delegation will include several members of the French government, such as Bruno Tetailleau, Minister of the Interior; Anne Genetet, Minister of National Education; Jean-Noël Barrot, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs; and Rachida Dati, Minister of Culture.
This visit is part of broader efforts to reinforce ties between Rabat and Paris, especially after France recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over its southern provinces of the Sahara. In July, President Macron announced this shift in France’s stance on the Sahara issue, affirming that Paris now views the future of Western Sahara as part of Moroccan sovereignty. Additionally, he reiterated France’s consistent support for the autonomy plan proposed by Morocco in 2007.
