Morocco, French Parliaments Pledge to Boost Ties
Rabat — The Moroccan and French parliaments are boosting their cooperation through bilateral partnership. Morocco's House of Representatives President Rachi Talbi Alami met yesterday with the French National Assembly President Yaël Braun-Pivet to discuss deepening the two countries' parliamentary cooperation. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the 50th session of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Francophonie (APF), taking place between July 9-13. Both sides recalled the bilateral relations between the two countries, noting the political, diplomatic, and parliamentary dynamics they know. Moroccan and French parliaments maintain a high level of bilateral cooperation, particularly through sustained coordination in the different international parliamentary institutions. They vowed to foster the collaboration via the activation of parliamentary mechanisms, including expertise exchange, visits, and reinforcing the role of parliamentary friendship groups. The efforts are part of the preparation for the next session of the Franco-Moroccan Inter-Parliamentary Forum. The meeting provided a platform to discuss regional and international issues of shared interest, especially those in the Francophone space. Women's role in parliament in focus Taking part in the meeting, Deputy Latifa Lablih, who is active in the network of francophone parliamentary women, recalled Morocco's role in the creation of the network. She commended Morocco's role in promoting gender equality, particularly through sharing experiences with African parliaments. Morocco has made huge steps forward in promoting women's rights, she said, thanks to King Mohammed VI's leadership. Morocco-French parliamentary cooperation In December 2024, Morocco and France's parliaments sealed a parliamentary cooperation protocol to boost their partnership. The agreement provides the two parties with mechanisms to deepen their countries' relations based on the principles of equality, trust, and reciprocity.
