"Of course, interaction in the field of defense is intensively developing. Our military personnel actively cooperate with their Malian colleagues. Training is being carried out for the armed forces of Mali, as well as, of course, training in civilian specialties. This is also an important humanitarian aspect of our work," Lavrov said, opening the negotiations.
Lavrov added that the countries have also established the closest coordination in the field of foreign policy interaction, primarily within the framework of the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter and at other multilateral platforms, including various Russia-Africa partnership formats.
