French President Emmanuel Macron will visit Morocco “at the end of October,” a report by AFP quoted the Elysee Palace as announcing Friday.
According to the news agency, the visit seeks to deepen the revival of bilateral ties between the two countries after a long period of tension.
The visit comes as a result of a request from King Mohammed VI, the Elysee statement noted, adding that the Moroccan monarch sent Macron a letter in which he expressed his satisfaction with the “promising horizons that are emerging for our two countries.”
In July, King Mohammed VI invited Macron for an official visit after Paris announced a position in support of Morocco's sovereignty.
