Rabat: French internal minister Bruno Retillu was on a trip to Rabat on Monday, where he is expected to discuss security cooperation with his Moroccan counterpart Abdeloufi Laughit.
According to the French Interior Ministry, dialogue will mainly focus on the fight against migration cooperation, organized crime and drug trafficking.
Relations between Paris and Rabat have improved significantly as France recognized the sovereignty of Morocco on the disputed region of Western Sahara in summer of 2024, especially ending several years of tension on migration.
Conversely, France’s relations with Algeria have continued to deteriorate since the move, with Algeers supporting the Polisario separatists.
The French Foreign Minister said that the French Foreign Minister said that its former colony had asked 12 French officials to leave in 48 hours.
The announcement was associated with the arrest of three Algerian citizens in France, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barot said.
“I am asking the Algerian officials to give up these expulsion measures,” the barrot said, “If the decision to send our officers back is maintained, we will have no other option but to answer immediately.”
