MADRID, 1 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The new Moroccan ambassador to France, Samira Sitail, has presented her credentials to the French president, Emmanuel Macron, a symbol of a thaw that also became palpable this week with the visit to Rabat of the French Foreign Minister, Stéphane Séjourné.
King Mohamed VI had proposed Sitail as the new ambassador in Paris on November 30, but it was not until now that her appointment was formalized after completing all the diplomatic procedures. The official Moroccan press has also released an image of the ambassador with Macron.
Séjourné defended before his Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Burita, the need to open a new stage and proposed “moving forward” on issues such as the conflict in Western Sahara, an issue that the French minister himself recognized that, for Rabat, is “existential.” He also advocated for increased cooperation.
The French Foreign Ministry, however, has clarified that no additional reading can be extracted from the trip regarding the positioning of Paris in relation to the former Spanish colony. “The position remains the same,” a spokesman for his department clarified Thursday.
This position involves providing “clear” and “constant” support for the autonomy plan presented by Mohamed VI in 2007, which keeps France one step behind Spain, which does consider this initiative to be the most credible basis. to hold on to to resolve the conflict.
