“By thanking France and President Emmanuel Macron in a speech as solemn as the opening of the autumn session of Parliament, for supporting Morocco's sovereignty over the entire Sahara territory, His Majesty the King underlines the importance of this alignment as France's position, as a permanent member of the Security Council, confers additional international legitimacy on Moroccan sovereignty, and reinforces efforts to achieve a definitive settlement of the Moroccan Sahara question,” the French political scientist told MAP.

This development, he said, “responds perfectly to the aspirations of His Majesty the King, who has laid the foundations for an exceptional partnership with France, giving this relationship a renewed dimension."

Seen from a geopolitical angle, this evolution goes “beyond mere political considerations, by integrating the Moroccan Sahara into vast economic and strategic projects, such as the Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline or the Atlantic initiatives,” explained Hamadé.

“These joint actions, based on mutual respect and a shared vision of regional security and stability, represent a veritable sacred union between the two countries”, noted the President of the International Institute for Geopolitical Studies, believing that together, the two countries "are creating a model of balanced cooperation in the face of global security and economic challenges, laying the foundations for shared prosperity over the coming decades."
