The work meeting held on Monday in Rabat, by the Minister of the interior, Abdelouafi Laftit, with the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior of the French Republic, Bruno Retailleau, was an opportunity to underline the need to establish a new global framework for partnership and cooperation between the two countries in the fields of security and migration.
This new framework will be based on the revision of several conventions between the interior ministries of the two countries, to make it a mechanism that meets common aspirations.
On this occasion, the two parties welcomed the solidity of security and migration cooperation between the two countries, a component which will be more reinforced by the French position affirming that the present and the future of the Sahara are fully part of the Moroccan sovereignty.
The two ministers also stressed that security and migration cooperation is part of a distinguished dynamic, based on mutual trust in order to meet common challenges, in light of a reading shared by the two countries of the regional and international environment, and the convergence of views about strategic questions.
Speaking during a joint press briefing at the end of the working meeting with his French counterpart, Mr. Laftit stressed that this fruitful meeting comes after that held last October, on the occasion of the official visit of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, in the kingdom at the invitation of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.
He indicated that he had addressed with Mr. Retailleau several questions relating in particular to migration and the fight against organized crime and terrorism.
Mr. Laftit also issued the wish that the roadmap adopted on Monday could allow you to move forward and solve several problems that persist in the fields of safety and migration.
The adoption of the Morocco-France cooperation roadmap between the interior ministries of the two countries constitutes an important milestone on the path of the consolidation of partnership and bilateral cooperation relations.
