AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Franco-Moroccan Tech & Security Reset: French PM Sébastien Lecornu opened a high-level ministerial meeting in Rabat with Morocco’s Aziz Akhannouch, as relations rebound after France recognized Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara in 2024. Bilateral Deals: The two sides signed 14 cooperation agreements spanning economy, security, migration, defence, plus rail and water policy, and a draft framework for scientific cooperation. Diplomatic Momentum: The visit is framed as the next step toward a wider “friendship” treaty ahead of King Mohammed VI’s expected Paris state visit, with a dozen ministers in tow. Cybersecurity Spotlight: A report by Al Jazeera says a former Moroccan intelligence insider alleges the DGST used Pegasus spyware from 2017 to target journalists, rights defenders, and officials abroad. Local Research Link: Ibn Zohr University in Laayoune signed two partnerships with Canary Islands universities, expanding applied research, clinical studies, and tech innovation in health sciences.
