Senegaleseย presidentย Bassirouย Diamayeย Fayeย hasย arrivedย forย anย officialย visitย andย discussionsย withย theย headย ofย Mali’sย militaryย junta.ย
The two are expected to talk about the security situation, military co operation, as well as freight transport.ย
Mali imports a significant part of its goods through the port of Dakar, but for several months transport has been hampered due to jihadist attacks.
Earlier this year, Mali’s authorities announced they had partnered with armed forces in Niger and Burkina Faso to launch air strikes against jihadists.
Assimi Goita has ruled Mali since 2021, when he came to power in a military coup.
