On June 23, 2025, Aurore Bergé, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, emphasized in a post on the platform X (formerly Twitter) the deep fraternal and strategic partnership between Morocco and France, following her meeting with Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
Bergé described the Moroccan and French peoples as “two brother peoples, two sister nations,” highlighting the mutual trust, shared history, and common strategic vision that unite the two countries. The French minister underscored the importance of bilateral cooperation in addressing shared challenges, including security threats and major global transitions such as economic, environmental, and geopolitical changes.
This affirmation comes amid positive developments in Morocco-France relations in recent years, despite occasional tensions related to issues such as migration, security cooperation, and France’s stance on the Western Sahara question.
Bergé’s statements signal France’s commitment to supporting Morocco as a strategic partner in North Africa and the Sahel region, especially given regional security challenges like terrorism and instability in neighboring countries, as well as global challenges involving economic and environmental transitions and technological advancements.
It is expected that the discussions between the French minister and Bourita covered security cooperation, strengthening economic partnerships, supporting Morocco’s development efforts, and coordination on regional and international issues of mutual interest.
These remarks clearly indicate the continuation and deepening of Morocco-France relations, affirming that cooperation between the two countries remains a cornerstone for regional stability and progress, with a focus on jointly confronting shared risks and working together amid the significant global transformations underway.
Against this backdrop, Morocco and France continue on a path of sustained dialogue and coordination, reflecting the depth of their historical, cultural, and strategic ties and enhancing prospects for future cooperation across various fields.
