Morocco has "demonstrated willingness to assist Mali to restore peace and stability" in the north of the country, the Malian Minister told MAP, after a meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation in Mali, welcoming the commitment of the Kingdom which has "experience and knowledge of the region," mainly thanks to "the long-standing bilateral relations."
