Speaking to MAP, Jobin, who is also President of the École Supérieure de Journalisme in Paris, said that France's decision to support Morocco's sovereignty over its Sahara “only further strengthens the significant evolution of the age-old relations between the two countries.”

The French expert commended the Royal diplomacy's “pragmatism,” noting that the Kingdom today is “proactively” asserting itself on the international diplomatic landscape.

Jobin, who authored several books on Morocco, praised how Morocco is regaining the initiative on the Moroccan Sahara issue, imposing a new dynamic of change on the international stage.

“Thanks to the proactive diplomacy of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Morocco has regained control of the situation,” he added.
