Watan<\/strong><\/em>-The Algerian Council of the Nation, the upper house of parliament, announced the \u201cimmediate suspension\u201d of its relations with the French Senate in protest against the visit of its president, G\u00e9rard Larcher, to Western Sahara, a disputed territory between Morocco and the Algeria-backed Polisario Front.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the Council of the Nation condemned the visit as \u201cirresponsible, provocative, and theatrical,\u201d declaring the \u201cimmediate suspension of its relations with the Senate of the French Republic, including the parliamentary cooperation protocol signed between the two councils in 2015.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement described the visit as part of a \u201ccontinuous and extremely dangerous deviation, reflecting the rise of the French far-right and its dominance over the French political scene and decision-making.\u201d It added that the President of the French Senate had visited \u201cthe city of Laayoune in the occupied Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Algeria Suspends Ties with French Senate Over Western Sahara Visit<\/h3>\n

G\u00e9rard Larcher\u2019s visit was characterized as an \u201cunacceptable and unsurprising action that disregards international legitimacy and is in stark contradiction with UN Security Council resolutions, of which France is a permanent member.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement continued: \u201cThe Bureau of the Council of the Nation strongly condemns and denounces this visit, along with its justifications and objectives, rejecting it outright. It considers it a blatant challenge and a flagrant bias, aligning with colonial policies and Moroccan narratives that oppose international legitimacy and UN charters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier on Tuesday, the President of the French Senate, G\u00e9rard Larcher, made an official visit to Laayoune, the largest city in Western Sahara, as part of his trip to Morocco, reaffirming Paris\u2019 support for Morocco\u2019s autonomy initiative as a solution to the regional dispute over the Sahara.<\/p>\n

Local sources reported that Larcher was warmly received in Laayoune, where he held meetings with several officials, including the governor of the Laayoune-Sakia El Hamra region, Abdeslam Bekrate, and the regional council president, Sidi Hamdi Ould Errachid. Discussions reportedly focused on major development projects in the region and ways to enhance Moroccan-French cooperation in various fields, particularly economic and cultural.<\/p>\n

France Reaffirms Support for Morocco\u2019s Sovereignty in Western Sahara<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Larcher stated that \u201cthe present and future of the southern provinces can only be built and consolidated within the framework of Morocco\u2019s sovereignty over its entire territory.\u201d During his speech in Laayoune, he emphasized that France\u2019s stance on the Sahara issue is a strategic choice adopted by the entire French state. He also announced France\u2019s intention to strengthen its consular presence in the southern provinces, reflecting Paris\u2019 commitment to deepening its ties with Morocco on a more substantial and sustainable basis.<\/p>\n

During his meeting with his Moroccan counterpart, Mohamed Ould Errachid, President of the House of Councillors, the latter reaffirmed the strength and solidity of Moroccan-French parliamentary relations. He praised the role of parliamentary diplomacy in fostering mutual understanding and defending Morocco\u2019s legitimate causes on the international stage. Addressing Larcher, Ould Errachid stated, \u201cYou are on Moroccan land, without a doubt.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to analysts, this visit marks a significant shift in France\u2019s stance on the Sahara issue, particularly following President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s visit to Morocco in July 2024, during which he reaffirmed his support for the Moroccan autonomy initiative under Moroccan sovereignty.<\/p>\n

Morocco welcomed the visit as explicit support for its national sovereignty and a boost to the strategic partnership between the two countries. However, the move sparked mixed regional reactions, with Algeria condemning it as a \u201cdiplomatic escalation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond the political dimension, Larcher\u2019s visit also had a cultural and educational aspect. He laid the foundation stone for a French school in Laayoune, aimed at providing high-quality education and fostering cultural exchange between the two nations. He also visited the French Cultural Association\u2019s headquarters in the city, where he reiterated the importance of cultural cooperation as a cornerstone of bilateral relations.<\/p>\n

France Expands Cultural and Diplomatic Ties in Laayoune<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

France\u2019s increased focus on cultural and educational presence in Laayoune aligns with the momentum generated by French Minister of Culture Rachida Dati\u2019s earlier visit to the city. During her visit, she announced joint cultural projects designed to enhance dialogue and rapprochement between Moroccan and French societies. At the time, she emphasized that France recognizes the strategic importance of the southern provinces in Morocco\u2019s cultural landscape, as reflected in the expansion of joint cultural initiatives.<\/p>\n

Observers see Larcher\u2019s visit as ushering in a new phase in Moroccan-French relations, highlighting the two countries\u2019 determination to strengthen their strategic partnership across various fields. The visit is also viewed as a step toward further consolidating international recognition of Morocco\u2019s sovereignty over the Sahara and supporting Morocco\u2019s efforts to resolve the regional dispute within the framework of the autonomy proposal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
