On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the President of the House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, welcomed a group of French corporate leaders in Rabat. Their study visit to Morocco is taking place amidst a strengthening of economic ties between the Kingdom and its European partners.
The French delegation, comprising executives from various unspecified sectors, expressed a keen interest in learning about the major projects underway in Morocco and its strategic position as a platform connecting Africa to the rest of the world.
During the meeting, Rachid Talbi Alami outlined the reforms implemented in Morocco, the evolution of the business environment, and the legal framework governing investment. He also emphasized the Kingdom’s modern infrastructure, institutional stability, and economic advantages for foreign investors.
Discussions also centered on Morocco’s initiatives directed towards the African continent. This included the royal initiative designed to provide Sahel countries with access to the Atlantic Ocean and the large-scale Africa-Atlantic Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline project.
According to Moroccan officials, these projects are part of a broader strategy focused on South-South cooperation, regional integration, and shared development across Africa.
Furthermore, the President of the House of Representatives explained the specificities of the Moroccan political system and the key milestones of the nation’s sixty-year parliamentary experience.
