Rabat hosts the 5th session of the Morocco–France parliamentary forum

The Moroccan Parliament is hosting the fifth session of the Morocco–France Parliamentary Forum on January 29 and 30, in Rabat. The meeting aims to strengthen institutional dialogue and enhance political cooperation between the two countries.

The session is co-chaired on the Moroccan side by Rachid Talbi El Alami, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Mohamed Ould Errachid, President of the House of Councillors. On the French side, the forum is led by Gérard Larcher, President of the Senate, and Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly.

The program includes four thematic sessions focusing on strategic issues of mutual interest. These topics include new prospects for bilateral cooperation, security and the fight against terrorism and organized crime, women’s rights and participation in public life, as well as energy transition and renewable energy.

Several Moroccan ministers and senior officials are taking part in the discussions. In addition to the formal sessions, the forum features intensive diplomatic activity, with bilateral meetings between the two delegations.

The event will conclude with the adoption of a final declaration summarizing the main outcomes and recommendations of the session. Created in 2013, the Morocco–France Parliamentary Forum has gradually become a key platform for structured dialogue, reflecting the shared commitment of both countries to deepen cooperation on major political, economic, and social challenges.
