The Malian authorities would declare an amnesty for the Islamist fighters, who participated in the 2012 uprising in Mali to achieve a permanent end of hostility between the two parties, the source said.
The peace talks were first launched in last April in Algeria's southernmost province of Tamanrasset, on the border with Mali, between representatives of the rebel movement and Algerian officials, the source said, adding the Malian authorities then joined the negotiations.
The ongoing peace talks had halted assaults of Ansar Dine against French and Malian troops which stationed in northern Mali for months.
