French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu reaffirmed on Thursday in Rabat his country’s “intangible” stance in support of Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara.
“This stance, I repeat here, is intangible. It will remain unchanged, and we act accordingly as you know,” Lecornu said during a press briefing following the High-Level Meeting (HLM) he co-chaired with Morocco’s Head of Government Aziz Akhannouch.
He further emphasized that “France stands by Morocco, loyally and faithfully,” highlighting the “clear” position expressed by President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron in his message to His Majesty King Mohammed VI on the occasion of Throne Day on July 30, 2024.
In that message, President Macron had officially affirmed that the present and future of the Sahara lie within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty.
The 15th session of the Morocco-France High-Level Meeting was held this Thursday, marking the Reinforced Exceptional Partnership between Morocco and France, under the leadership of the two Heads of State, His Majesty King Mohammed VI Macron.
