Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb Visits Bamako to Boost Cooperation with Mali
According to France 24, Algeria's head of government arrived Monday in the Malian capital as part of a rapprochement initiative between the two neighboring countries following a period of diplomatic tensions.
Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb arrived in Bamako on Monday, according to France 24, on a visit aimed at consolidating rapprochement between Algeria and Mali, two neighboring Sahel nations.
The visit comes after more than a year of severe diplomatic tensions between the two countries, the source notes.
It takes place three weeks after Malian Prime Minister Abdoulaye Maïga's trip to Algiers on August 24. According to France 24, he was received there by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to whom he conveyed a message from Mali's transition leader.
Sifi Ghrieb's visit to Bamako thus follows up on these diplomatic exchanges, in a context of seeking to ease tensions between the two countries after a period of strain, France 24 indicates.
