King Mohammed VI has agreed to put the Sébéninkoro Polyclinic at the disposal of the Government of Mali to help the West African country fight the COVID-19 pandemic. The opening date of the Polyclinic will be decided in common agreement between the two countries, the statement said. This came during a recent meeting in Bamako between the Foreign Minister Tiébilé Dramé and Morocco’s ambassador to Mali, Hassan Naciri. The Malian and African students benefit from the same care and benefits as Moroccan citizens, the Foreign Minister noted. He underlined that “these measures do not surprise anyone since they are part of HM King Mohammed VI’s policy in favor of South-South cooperation,” citing as an example the regularization of the situation thousands of Africans living in Morocco.
