French President Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Morocco from October 28 to 30, marking a significant diplomatic shift after years of strained relations between Paris and Rabat.

This visit, the first in six years, comes with a large delegation of over 120 French officials and business leaders, aiming to mend ties and foster economic partnerships.

Macron's visit follows his recent diplomatic pivot from Algeria to Morocco, acknowledging Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara, a move that has eased tensions.

The visit is expected to result in several agreements, particularly in the energy sector, with major French companies like Engie and Alstom poised to sign significant deals.

This diplomatic thaw is seen as a crucial step in strengthening Franco-Moroccan relations, with both nations looking to collaborate on renewable energy and infrastructure projects.
