At a recent summit organized by the Franco-Arab Chamber of Commerce (CCFA), Moroccan Minister of Economy and Finance, Benchaâboun, delivered an inspiring message regarding the strong ties between Morocco and France. He emphasized that these relationships are not merely historical but are anchored in a mutual vision that looks toward an innovative and prosperous future.
Highlighting the significance of the joint Declaration signed by His Majesty King Mohammed VI and French President Emmanuel Macron during last October’s state visit, Benchaâboun noted that this document sets forth ambitious commitments aimed at modernizing and diversifying the economies of both nations. The long-standing partnership has propelled multiple large-scale projects, allowing both countries to harness economic agreements that speak to their shared interests.
What sets this partnership apart, according to Benchaâboun, is its potential to transcend national borders and extend across the African continent. “France and Morocco are proving that bilateral cooperation can serve as a catalyst for regional and global change,” he remarked, underscoring the advantages of cohesive economic strategies.
In the face of ongoing global challenges, Benchaâboun encouraged thinking beyond conventional approaches, reiterating that Morocco has effectively built its development model on a hybrid investment framework where the state plays a crucial role as an investor. This strategic approach has fostered growth and opened avenues for further collaboration, offering valuable lessons for both Arab nations and European partners.
The Minister also articulated the vast potential for deepening relations between Arab countries and France. He called upon France to adopt a strategic role in enhancing trade ties between Arab nations and the European Union, despite the trade policy being primarily governed by the EU. “We anticipate France to become a key facilitator in translating the economic aspirations of Arab nations into actionable EU mechanisms,” he stated.
In conclusion, Benchaâboun expressed an optimistic vision for the future. He urged both parties to draw from the success of the Morocco-France partnership, stating, “Together, let’s craft a narrative of cooperation, solidarity, and shared ambition in France-Arab relations that will lead us toward a future characterized by prosperity, stability, and justice.”
As we look at the evolving landscape of international relations, it is clear that partnerships like that of Morocco and France could set the stage for broader collaboration across the continent and beyond.
