21/02/2013 (Agence Europe) - The donors' conference for rebuilding Mali is scheduled for mid-May. It will be hosted by the European Union in Brussels. José Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission, formally announced that the conference would be held when speaking to the Malian prime minister, Django Cissoko, who was visiting the European institutions on 18 February, the day when the EU training and advisory mission for the Malian armed forces, EUTM Mali, was launched. Barroso said this is yet one more demonstration of the EU's commitment to the stability, unity, democracy and development of Mali. The people of Mali can count on Europe, he declared. (AN/transl.jl)
