Inspector General of the Royal Armed Forces, Lt. General Mohamed Berrid conferred over the weekend in Paris with France’s new Army Chief of Staff General Fabien Mandon.
Talks focused on military cooperation prospects and on ways of strengthening further strategic partnership to counter shared challenges.
Prior to this meeting, Lt. General Mohamed Berrid and his accompanying delegation attended farewell ceremony to former army Chief of Staff General Thierry Burkhard. The ceremony, which was presided over by President Emmanuel Macron, was organized in the courtyard of Les Invalides, in Paris.
Morocco’s participation in these events shows the strong ties existing between the two countries’ armed forces sharing a long history of cooperation and training.
Last month, Lt. General Mohamed Berrid represented Morocco in the U.S. AFRICOM Change of Command ceremony held at Kelley Barracks in Stuttgart, Germany. During which Air Force Gen. Dagvin R.M. Anderson assumed command from Marine Corps Gen. Michael Langley.
The United States sees Morocco as a “reliable partner” and one of the pillars of regional peace, security and stability. The Pentagon describes the Kingdom as a regional leader exporting security and economic development throughout the African continent.
