The visit comes when Morocco and France continue to celebrate strong bilateral bonds Western Sahara.
The decision in July 2024 followed Emmanuel Macron’s historical state visit Morocco In October of the same year. During his visit, Macron doubled France’s support for the territorial integrity of Morocco.
In the Moroccan Parliament, he gave a speech in which he swore that his country would continue to defend Morocco’s cause and support his territorial integrity in all international forums.
Macron’s visit followed a series of visits to French officials. In February the French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati Morocco and especially the southern provinces in Morocco visited in the Western Sahara.
The visit was the first of such a trip to the southern provinces of Morocco.
Dati’s visit followed another high -ranking visit to the French Senate, Gerard Larcher in Morocco, including Laayoune.
During his visit, Larcher said that Morocco’s southern provinces are “a success model for the entire Sahelo Saharan zone”, since the region is exposed to various tensions.
Impressed by the development in the region, he remembered the development model Morocco.
“This model is part of the geostrategic vision of Morocco and is an opportunity to open up and develop for the states to open and develop the kingdom,” said Larcher.
The visit of Larcher in Moroccos Laayoune triggered frustration from Algeria’s regime, which reacted to the news by separating relationships with the French Senate.
This was done in the middle of brow tensions between the two countries.
Algeria’s regime continues to refuse to work together and refuses to enter the Algerians after deportation measures from France.
France popped the Algerian regime for its reluctance and explained that similar actions aim to humiliate the European country.
One of the Algerian citizens carried out a knife attack in Mulhouse in February, and the Algerian authorities had refused to spend consular passes for the suspect.
In response to this, France announced measures to restrict the movement and access to the French territory for a number of “Algerian dignitaries” last month.
Algeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the measures and called it “a new provocation from France”.
