France praises “highly structured” migration cooperation with Morocco
France has highlighted what it described as an “extremely rich” and “well-structured” cooperation with Morocco on migration issues, underlining the strategic importance of bilateral coordination in managing both legal mobility and irregular migration flows.
Speaking on Friday, Frédéric Joram, director of immigration at the French Ministry of the Interior, praised the depth of institutional collaboration between the two countries during a biannual meeting of Moroccan consuls general held in Paris.
He stressed that the relationship between Moroccan consular services and French administrative authorities, particularly prefectures, plays a central role in managing migration procedures. According to him, this cooperation covers a wide range of issues, including student mobility, professional migration, and efforts to address irregular immigration.
The official also noted the growing number of Moroccan students in France, particularly in higher education institutions and elite schools, describing this trend as an important component of bilateral exchanges.
The meeting brought together Morocco’s 17 consuls general stationed in France, alongside senior representatives from both countries’ foreign and interior ministries. Discussions focused on strengthening coordination mechanisms and improving administrative efficiency in migration management.
Officials present emphasized that migration remains a key pillar of Franco-Moroccan relations, combining security concerns with educational, economic, and social dimensions, within a framework of long-standing diplomatic ties between Rabat and Paris.
