AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Franco-Moroccan Treaty Update: Morocco and France are finalising a new “Friendship Treaty” to replace the 1955 La Celle-Saint-Cloud deal, aiming for a more equal, long-term economic and security partnership—while explicitly tying the relationship to the Western Sahara file. Gulf–Atlantic Axis: Mohammed VI’s meeting with the UAE’s leader underlines Rabat’s push to coordinate responses to Middle East risks that could disrupt trade and energy routes, with Morocco positioning itself as a gateway for Gulf investment. Western Sahara Resource Pressure: Catalan and French civil groups have launched a campaign targeting AZURA Group, urging it to stop marketing Dakhla as Moroccan and to respect European court rulings on Western Sahara’s separate status—raising pressure on export origin labelling. Phosphate Trade Watch: Western Sahara Resource Watch reports only three companies imported phosphate rock from occupied Western Sahara in 2025, with 2.02 million tonnes shipped—highlighting the scale of extraction tied to Morocco’s income. Diplomatic Messaging at the UN: Morocco’s UN ambassador says keeping the Sahara issue on the UN agenda is now “obsolete,” arguing the conflict-management phase is over and pushing for a definitive autonomy-based solution within the Security Council framework. Defense Industry Note: DefendTex declined to comment on a reported Drone40 sale; the UAV is noted as having seen combat in the Western Sahara in 2018, linking defense procurement narratives back to the region.
