Mali, 'greatly inspired' by Moroccan experience in agriculture, Boubacar Keita

Fes - Malian President, Ibrahim Boubacar Keita said his country was "greatly inspired" by the experience of Morocco in the field of agriculture, which has become a model for many African countries. The Malian President, who addressed the press as he arrived early Tuesday evening in Fez to attend the 9th International Agriculture Fair in Morocco (SIAM), said that the presence of the Minister of Agriculture in the large delegation accompanying him reflects the interest in the Moroccan experience.

He said Mali has much to learn from Morocco in various other areas. "Whether in the field of agriculture or other, we have much to learn from our Moroccan brothers who are willing to share" their expertise, he said. He stressed the ties of friendship and brotherhood uniting the Malian and Moroccan peoples, noting that his stay in Morocco "is an extension of the multifaceted cooperation that His Majesty King Mohammed VI has decided to develop with Mali."
