During his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Moscow on the sidelines of the third Russia–Africa Summit, Mali’s transitional president, Assimi Goïta, called for expanding the partnership to include intelligence, cybersecurity, territorial surveillance, energy, and local mineral processing, alongside the transfer of expertise and training for Malian personnel. Bamako pointed to existing military cooperation and agreements signed in 2025 on bilateral relations, peaceful nuclear energy, and economic and technical cooperation. Goïta justified the expansion by citing geopolitical changes and what he described as Mali’s gradual restoration of its sovereignty. Putin publicly focused on economic cooperation and education, announcing an increase in scholarships for Malian students to 300 for the 2026–2027 academic year. But his published remarks did not address the requests concerning intelligence and cybersecurity, and no new agreement was announced.
