103. As you know, the Government of the Republic of Mali is not a nuclear Power and, militarily speaking, it has no ambition to be one. Nor does the Government of Mali have any foreign military bases in its territory. Nevertheless, the Government of Mali has acceded to the Moscow Treaty, and it welcomed the establishment of the "hot line" between the White House and the Kremlin, in the conviction that these two developments —the Moscow Treaty and the establishment of the "hot line"— are very important factors in the easing of tension between East and West and should be used as a starting point or base for achieving further progress and for ridding humanity of any threat of nuclear or thermonuclear war.
