Moroccan frigate “Tarik Ben Ziyad” arrived at French Toulon Naval Base as part of its participation in joint military drill.
According to local media sources, relations between Morocco and France have begun to improve after a period of stagnation, as shown by Morocco’s participation in military exercises with France, France’s change in position on the Western Sahara issue and King’s reception of the French ambassador.
King Mohammed VI received at the Royal Palace in Rabat 14 ambassadors, who came to hand over their credentials as plenipotentiary and extraordinary ambassadors of their countries in the Kingdom.
Two weeks before, Mohammed VI finally accredited France’s ambassador to Rabat, Christophe Lecourtier, who had presented him with his credentials after his appointment almost a year ago.
King met with Lecourtier after his visit to Laayoune, the main city of the Saharan Province, which Morocco considers part of its territory.
