The meeting between Beninese Foreign Minister Olushegun Adjadi Bakari and his Malian counterpart, Abdoulaye Diop, took place on the sidelines of the UEMOA Council of Ministers. This meeting is significant given the current political climate, with Benin remaining a member of ECOWAS while Mali has withdrawn.
Tensions between Benin and Niger have also been escalating, with Niger accusing Benin of aligning with international powers seeking to destabilize the country.
The meeting between the Beninese and Malian Foreign Ministers provides an opportunity for dialogue and a better understanding of regional perspectives amidst the ongoing challenges.
