Morocco and Mali agreed, Thursday in Bali (Indonesia), to strengthen their cooperation in the water sector. “We have agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation between our two countries in the water sector”, said Equipment and Water Minister, Nizar Baraka, following a meeting with Mali’s Minister of Environment, Sanitation and Sustainable Development, Mamadou Samake, on the fringes of the 10th World Water Forum. For his part, Samake praised Morocco’s expertise in the fields of dams, water management, and irrigation, noting that this expertise was of great interest to Mali. The meeting also discussed potential projects to strengthen the resilience of populations living in desert or Sahel zones, which remain particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. We want to further strengthen and deepen our cooperation for the common interest of the people of both countries,” the Malian official said.
