Qatar's Minister of State at the Foreign Ministry Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al Khulaifi spoke by telephone with Mali's Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop on 31 May 2026. Their discussion addressed bilateral cooperation and developments in the African Sahel, according to Qatar's Foreign Ministry.
Al Khulaifi reaffirmed Qatar's solidarity with Mali and support for its efforts to protect public safety and stability. This call occurred one month after a separate consultation between the same officials; the ministry's May notice did not identify a newly signed accord.
