Rabat – France will work “in close collaboration” with Morocco within the UN Security Council, of which Morocco is a non-permanent member, said French Foreign Minister Alain Juppé.
In a congratulatory message to his Moroccan peer, Saadeddine El Othmani, the head of French diplomacy expressed willingness to work in close collaboration with the Kingdom to promote the French-Moroccan friendship, notably following the entry of Morocco to the UN Security Council.
Juppé also described himself as an “ardent defender” of partnership between the two countries, adding that their bilateral relations are of an unmatched closeness in the world, he said.
Juppé also said that he will pay a visit to Morocco to meet El Othmani, who was appointed last Tuesday Morocco’s foreign Minister in the cabinet of Abdelilah Benkirane.
