Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita met with his French counterpart Stéphane Séjourné on Monday in Rabat. The Bilateral meeting, which is still in progress, is part of a working visit that Séjourné kicked off on Sunday.
This is the French foreign minister’s first official visit to Morocco since he took office in 2024.
A Member of the European Parliament since July 2019, Séjourné was appointed chairman of the Renew Europe group in the European Parliament on October 19, 2021, and was tipped to top the list of Macron’s party for the next European elections.
With his appointment at age 38, Séjourné becomes the youngest French Minister of Foreign Affairs in the Fifth Republic.
Séjourné has recently announced that President Macron asked him to get involved “personally” in the revival of Franco-Moroccan relations and start “a new chapter” in bilateral ties.
