GENEVA (AA) - French President Emmanuel Macron said Tuesday that "even more results" are needed on the illegal immigration issue during a three-day visit to Morocco to mend relations.

Macron told the Moroccan parliament in Rabat that the "reinforced exceptional partnership" concluded the previous and King Mohammed VI should focus on "illegal immigration and the need for natural and fluid cooperation in consular matters."

"We need even more results," said Macron, urging a streamlined processes for Morocco to reclaim its nationals whom the French have decided to expel.

Immigration has been a traditional irritant between France and Morocco.

On Western Sahara, the president renewed French support for Moroccan sovereignty over the largely Moroccan-controlled but disputed territory. Macron said French companies "will support the development" of Western Sahara, whose "present and future" belong under "Moroccan sovereignty."

He pledged "investments and sustainable support initiatives to benefit local populations."
