Rabat - "Through their cultural dialogue on a range of major issues, France and Morocco are a tandem carrying messages and initiatives that resonate far beyond Europe and Africa,' said France's Ambassador to Morocco Christophe Lecourtier. 'This cultural exchange highlights the political and diplomatic initiatives undertaken between the two countries, particularly on major issues such as the ecological transition,' Lecourtier stressed in an interview with MAP on the occasion of the launch of the 2024-2025 cultural season of the Moroccan French Institute (IFM), noting that France and Morocco share a long history of cultural exchanges. Citing the major initiatives undertaken for food security in Africa and far beyond, the Ambassador noted that they 'will only be meaningful if our societies, and in particular our young people, are made aware of this dynamic' through art, culture and the exchange of ideas. Turning to the new cultural season, the diplomat pointed out that Morocco and France, through cultural dia logue, are crossing paths with French and Moroccan artists, scientists and intellectuals in the IFM's new program, entitled "Vivant" (vibrant), describing the context in which this cooperation is taking place as 'very special'. After welcoming the fact that the Moroccan French Institute remains the leading among its counterparts worldwide, he said that the IFM is considered one of the most important networks for cultural cooperation on an international scale. Within this framework, he shed light on the partnership between Morocco and France, signed in Cannes, to give new impetus to bilateral cooperation in the fields of co-production and cinematographic exchanges, stressing that 'we have high hopes for this agreement' designed to strengthen the dynamics of Moroccan cinema.
