The Moroccan Parliament is organizing the fifth session of the Moroccan-French Parliamentary Forum on January 29 and 30.
A statement from the Parliament stated that this important session will be chaired on the Moroccan side by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi El Alami, and the Speaker of the House of Councilors, Mohamed Ould Errachid, and on the French side by the President of the Senate, Gérard Larcher, and the President of the National Assembly, Yaël Braun-Pivet. The statement added that the program of this session includes four thematic sessions with the participation of parliamentarians from both countries, addressing strategic files. The first session will be devoted to discussing "New Prospects for Bilateral Cooperation," followed by a second session that will address issues of "Security, Combating Terrorism and Organized Crime," while the third session will address the topic of "Women's Rights and Participation in Public Life," and the fourth session will be devoted to studying the file of "Energy Transition and Renewable Energies." These sessions will witness the significant participation of a number of ministers and officials from the concerned sectors on the Moroccan side. The forum will also witness intense diplomatic activity and bilateral discussions between the two sides. The work of this session, which will witness the presence of a high-level French parliamentary delegation including members of the Senate and the National Assembly, will conclude with a final statement that includes the conclusions arising from the session's proceedings. It is worth noting that the Moroccan-French Parliamentary Forum has accumulated a distinguished path of institutional dialogue since its first session in Rabat in 2013, followed by the second session in Paris in 2015, then the third session in Rabat in 2018, leading to the fourth session hosted by Paris in 2019. This forum establishes its position as a strategic space for dialogue, consultation, and exchange of views between Moroccan parliamentarians and their French counterparts, with the aim of coordinating positions and studying various issues of common interest between the two countries.
