He noted that this initiative embodies the Royal Vision for efficient South-South cooperation, based on solidarity, the sharing of expertise, the strengthening of local capacities, and the promotion of sustainable human development for the benefit of African peoples.

The High Royal Decision to hand over this complex to Malian authorities was highly praised by the Malian side.
