UN General Assembly
2021

My country wishes to be a solution to the crises that threaten the Sahel. Mali aspires to live in peace with its neighbours, to strengthen its unity and stability and to restore full sovereignty over its entire territory. Mali wants to guarantee human security within its borders by consolidating its constitutional institutions. To that end, Mali is committed to its transformation, through reforms, into a stable and prosperous State that is oriented towards ensuring the well-being of its inhabitants. Those reforms have been postponed for too long and for various reasons by the political regimes that have assumed power over the past two decades. The current transition, under the leadership of His Excellency Colonel Assimi Goita, has seen Mali decide to make a firm commitment to them. The Head of State has instructed us to convene, in the coming days, a national refoundation conference, the recommendations of which will be binding both for the current transition period and the pursuit of future public policies.
