Macron was the presidential candidate for the En Marche! party. En Marche! is a progressive political party created by Macron himself. Macron had a strong victory over his far-right opponent, Marine Le Pen who ran as a member of the French National Front party.

The royal cabinet issued a communiquรฉ last week about the conversation.ย King Mohammed VI, while currently in France, phoned the youngest ever leader of the country. His Majestyย passed on his congratulationsย on the election victory to Macron. King Mohammed VI was among one of the first heads of state to congratulateย Macronโ€™s election victory.

Both the King and Macron emphasised the positive relationship between Morocco and France, as well as the commitment to grow and build upon the already existing partnership.

The Kingโ€™s office said his congratulations was โ€œmarked by broad support to his vision for the future of France and the well-being of his fellow citizens.โ€

King Mohammed VI praised the characteristics of the new President who represents โ€œa choice for progress, openness and confidence in the future.โ€

In April, Macron pledged that Morocco would be one of the first few countries he visited when he won the presidency.

The relationship between France and Morocco is incredibly important with France being Moroccoโ€™s leading economic partner.

Earlier this month, King Mohammed VI met with then French President Hollande in the French Presidential Palace Elysรฉe.

The two emphasised their mutual respect for both countries and pledged to renew the partnerships between them concerningย security, development, culture and education.

Sunday marked the first day of President Macronโ€™s term.
