Malta has expressed solidarity with the government and people of Mali in view of the aggression by radical rebels and terrorist groups in the north of the country.
“This aggression threatens to destabilise not only the country, but the whole region, making it even more crucial that democratic governance and the rule of law are re-established without delay.
“The door for negotiations remains open, but only for groups that recognise Mali’s territorial integrity and distance themselves from violence and terrorist activities,” the government said in a statement this evening.
Malta reiterated its commitment to the decisions and declarations adopted by the United Nations Security Council.
