H.E. Mr. Christophe LECOURTIER, Ambassador of the French Republic

As part of the cooperation and strategic dialogue that links Morocco with European countries, and in support of a culture of dialogue and intercultural understanding, the Euromed University of Fes received, on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, Their Excellencies Mr. Christophe LECOURTIER and Mr. Robert DÖLGER, Ambassador of the French Republic to Morocco and Ambassador of Germany to Morocco, respectively.

This meeting, organized in honor of Their Excellencies, began with a presentation by the President of UEMF, Prof. Mostapha BOUSMINA, who briefly outlined the University's main missions in promoting intercultural dialogue, exchange, and cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean with a natural extension toward Sub-Saharan Africa.

Subsequently, the guests toured the Eco-Campus and its technological platforms, as well as its research and innovation laboratories.

In their speeches to the students and university staff, the Ambassadors shared their views on the foreign policy pursued by European countries toward Morocco, particularly on political, economic, and security matters. They also discussed the potential role that Europe could play as a reliable partner, not only for Morocco but for the entire African continent.

This event was an exceptional opportunity for the University's students and faculty to interact with Their Excellencies with the aim of exploring the German and French perspectives on ways to improve cooperation between Morocco, Germany, and France to bring closer the visions of the two shores of the Mediterranean and to work on strengthening a region of peace, security, and cooperation.
