ALGERIAN'S FOREIGN POLICY 

Lamamra receives Malian Reconciliation Minister, Representatives of signatory Movements

ALGIERS- Minister of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad, Ramtane Lamamra received Friday in Algiers, Malian Minister of National Reconciliation and Social Cohesion, Colonel-Major Ismail Wagué, as well as representatives of the signatory movements of the Agreement on Peace and Reconciliation in Mali stemming from the Algiers process.

These consultations, which are part of Algeria's efforts in its dual capacity as leader of the international mediation and Chairman of the Agreement Monitoring Committee (AMC), are mainly aimed at enabling the Malian parties to give new impetus to the peace and reconciliation process in Mali, following the promising results of the 45th session of the AMC held on 6 October in Bamako.

In this regard, the signatory movements' representatives will discuss the strategic objectives of the agreement, including issues of reintegration of combatants from the movements as well as political and institutional aspects.

The representatives will also discuss the other two pillars of the agreement, namely development and justice issues.

These meetings are of great importance as they are being held on the eve of the national re-foundation meetings that will determine the outcome of the transition process in Mali.

Algeria plays a vital role in the peace and reconciliation process in Mali, as it aims to ensure unity and territorial integrity in Mali.

Algeria's persevering action is widely supported at the continental and international levels.
