On May 21, 2026, French and Moroccan officials jointly announced that King Mohammed VI of Morocco will make an official state visit to France in the coming months. The announcement was made during a press conference in Paris, with French President Emmanuel Macron and Moroccan Prime Minister Aziz Akhannouch confirming the visit.
The visit aims to strengthen diplomatic and economic cooperation between the two nations, focusing on trade, security, and cultural exchanges. No specific dates have been set, but sources indicate the visit could occur in late 2026.
This marks the first state visit by the Moroccan monarch to France since 2017, reflecting a renewed commitment to bilateral relations. The announcement follows recent high-level meetings between French and Moroccan officials on regional stability in North Africa and the Sahel.
