The President of the French Republic Emmanuel Macron, and his spouse, Brigitte Macron, visited the Mohammed V Mausoleum in Rabat on Tuesday, where they paid their respects at the graves of the late sovereigns, King Mohammed V and King Hassan II. Upon their arrival at the mausoleum, the French Head of State and his spouse were greeted by the mausoleum's curator, Colonel Major Hassan Charif Skalli, before reviewing a guard of honor from the Royal Guard. After laying a wreath on the graves of the two late sovereigns, President Macron and Brigitte Macron observed a minute of silence in their memory. The French President and his spouse were then briefed on the authentic architectural features of this historical monument before signing the mausoleum's guestbook. Macron then received a book on the building's history, as well as the Mohammed V Mausoleum crest. President Macron and his spouse were accompanied by members of the honorary committee, including the Minister of National Land Planning, Urban Development, Housing, and Urban Policy, Fatima Ezzahra El Mansouri; the King's Ambassador to Paris, Samira Sitail; and the French Ambassador in Rabat, Christophe Lecourtier. President Macron and Brigitte Macron arrived in Rabat late Monday afternoon for a state visit to the Kingdom of Morocco at the invitation of King Mohammed VI.
