The Head of State of Niger, General Abdourahamane Tiani, received a high-level delegation from the sister Republic of Mali, led by the Minister of Mines, Amadou Keita, who carried a special message from the Malian President, General Assimi Goïta. The meeting was part of efforts to strengthen cooperation ties between the two countries, both members of the AES Confederation of States.
Held at the Presidential Palace in Niamey, the meeting reflected a renewed spirit of regional cooperation and solidarity between the two nations, united by shared history, geography, and common challenges. It highlighted the shared determination of Presidents Tiani and Goïta to build a pragmatic collaboration dedicated to the development and sovereignty of their peoples.
Although the exact content of the message remained confidential, the discussions clearly emphasized a common ambition to deepen their partnership in the strategic mining sector. This reflects their shared vision of economic sovereignty, and their commitment to responsibly and jointly exploit their mineral wealth for the benefit of their populations.
This fraternal initiative between the two Heads of State reinforces their commitment to working hand in hand to build a common future based on mutual aid, trust, and respect. The meeting marks a significant step in consolidating the Niamey-Bamako axis, a key pillar of regional cooperation and shared development in the Sahel.
