France-Morocco Treaty Nears Completion as Mohammed VI’s State Visit Takes Shape
The Élysée has proposed the third week of January 2027 for King Mohammed VI’s state visit to France. The trip is expected to be marked by the signing of an unprecedented treaty between the two countries, whose text is nearly complete.
The French proposal has been sent to the Moroccan royal cabinet, La Tribune Dimanche reports. The exact dates now need to be approved by Paris and Rabat.

This proposed window gives a more precise timeline for a visit that has been postponed several times. The trip was first planned for autumn 2026, before being postponed to early the following year. Mohammed VI accepted Emmanuel Macron’s invitation during the French president’s visit to Morocco in October 2024.
The main issue will be the signing of the bilateral treaty intended to shape the two countries’ new relationship. According to La Tribune Dimanche, the text is “almost complete.” The committees tasked with drafting it held their final working session on September 21.
A final meeting before the signing
Inspired by the Quirinal Treaty between France and Italy, the Franco-Moroccan agreement would be the first of its kind signed by Paris with a non-European country. It is due to be formally concluded during the Moroccan sovereign’s visit.
