Mali and Morocco Strengthen Military Cooperation with Joint Expert Commission

Mali and Morocco have reinforced ties by launching a Joint Military Commission. The initiative was officially inaugurated on Monday at the Malian Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs, where a delegation of experts from the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces, led by Brigadier General Abdelghani Mouhib, was received.

The commission’s first meeting will last three days. It will bring together military experts from both nations to explore ways to deepen bilateral defence cooperation. Brigadier Generals Mahamadou Massaoulé Samaké of Mali and Abdelghani Mouhib of Morocco will co-chair the discussions.

According to officials, the establishment of the Joint Military Commission shows the commitment of both countries to strengthening strategic partnerships in defence and security. This move comes amid growing regional security challenges, making military collaboration a key priority for both nations.

It will be recalled that Mali and Senegal also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening military cooperation, particularly in the fight against terrorism and cross-border crime, despite Mali’s recent withdrawal from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

In a two-day meeting in Bamako, Malian Defence Minister General Sadio Camara and his Senegalese counterpart, Birame Diop, discussed ways to enhance security collaboration between the neighbouring nations.
