French Culture Minister plans groundbreaking visit to Morocco's southern regions
France's Minister of Culture Rachida Dati will embark on a three-day visit to Morocco starting February 16, including a notable stop in Laayoune in southern Morocco. During her visit to Laayoune, Dati is scheduled to inaugurate a French cultural institute.
The ministerial visit comes amid strengthened Franco-Moroccan relations, particularly following France's support for Morocco's territorial integrity. This diplomatic stance was reinforced by President Emmanuel Macron's recognition of Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces during his state visit in October 2023.
The visit builds on recent cultural cooperation initiatives between the two nations. Last year, Morocco and France signed 22 agreements covering various sectors, including cultural heritage preservation and video game development. A bilateral agreement at the Cannes Film Festival further enhanced their cultural and cinematic collaboration.
However, this diplomatic alignment has strained France's relations with Algeria. Following France's position on the Sahara issue, Algeria recalled its ambassador to Paris. Tensions escalated due to Algeria's detention of activists, including author Boualem Sansal, and allegations against French intelligence services.
The minister's upcoming schedule includes meetings with senior Moroccan officials to discuss further bilateral cooperation opportunities.
