The 15th Morocco-France High-Level Meeting took place on July 16, 2026, in Rabat, co-chaired by Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch and French Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The meeting resulted in the signing of 14 agreements across seven key sectors, including energy, water, infrastructure, and culture.
A central outcome was France's reaffirmed support for Morocco's autonomy plan for Western Sahara, described by Paris as the only credible basis for a UN-led political solution. This aligns with France's evolving stance, notably expressed in a July 2024 letter from President Emmanuel Macron to King Mohammed VI.
The agreements also emphasize a shared strategic focus on Africa, with initiatives to boost investment and cooperation in the Sahel region. Both nations committed to enhancing economic partnerships and addressing regional security challenges.
