Mali: Peace Negotiations

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what steps he is taking to promote peace in Mali.

Answer: The Government continues to be concerned about the situation in Mali. We reiterate our previous calls on the parties to the 2015 Algiers Peace Agreement to take immediate steps to advance the peace process. We are also deeply concerned by the increase in terrorist and intercommunal attacks in the centre of Mali. We underline the need for security efforts to be accompanied by inclusive political and institutional reform, as well as initiatives to promote economic development.
