Mali / Russia: A strategic partnership to develop natural resources

The political and security alliance between Mali and Russia is now broadening to encompass the economic sector, marking the beginning of a new phase of cooperation between the two nations.

Building on existing agreements in civilian nuclear energy, solar power, and grain supply, Mali and Russia are entering into a strategic partnership focused on transforming Mali’s natural resources.

For Mali, this economic partnership promises substantial benefits, as the country is rich in mineral and natural resources.

The government aims to boost local processing capacities, adding value to raw materials before export.

This approach not only strengthens the national economy but also aims to generate jobs and build local expertise in industrial sectors.

For Russia, this partnership offers a chance to expand its influence in West Africa while diversifying its economic alliances.

By working with Mali on the processing of resources like minerals, timber, and agricultural products, Moscow secures essential raw materials, a strategic advantage in a world facing intensified competition.

This Mali-Russia alliance highlights the growing importance of South-South cooperation for African countries as they pursue greater economic independence and self-reliance.
