During a study visit from 8 to 12 June 2026, the delegation met with Rachid Talbi Alami to discuss the business climate, the kingdom’s major projects, and its African initiatives, including Sahel countries’ access to the Atlantic and the Morocco-Nigeria gas pipeline.
On Tuesday 9 June 2026, the President of the House of Representatives, Rachid Talbi Alami, welcomed a delegation of French business leaders in Rabat. The group was on a study trip to Morocco from 8 to 12 June, amid growing economic exchanges between the kingdom and its European partners.
Composed of executives from companies operating in various sectors (the list was not disclosed), the French group sought information on Morocco’s major projects and its positioning as a platform connecting Africa with the rest of the world, according to the House of Representatives.
During the meeting, Talbi Alami outlined the reforms undertaken in Morocco, the evolution of the business climate, and the legal framework for investment. He also highlighted the country’s infrastructure, institutional stability, and economic advantages for foreign investors.
The discussions also covered Moroccan initiatives towards the African continent, notably the royal initiative to facilitate Sahel countries’ access to the Atlantic Ocean and the Morocco-Nigeria Africa-Atlantic gas pipeline project. According to Moroccan authorities, these projects are part of a South-South cooperation logic, regional integration, and shared development in Africa.
The President of the House of Representatives also presented the specifics of Morocco’s political system and the key stages of the national parliamentary experience, which spans six decades.
This meeting comes as Morocco seeks to strengthen its role as an industrial, logistics, and financial hub between Europe and Africa, attracting more foreign investment in sectors related to infrastructure, energy, industry, and services.
