MOSCOW. Feb 21 (Interfax) - The situation in Mali and whole Africa will be an item on the agenda of the Russian visit of French President Francois Hollande, UN Secretary General Envoy for the Sahel Romano Prodi told Russian Presidential Representative for Cooperation with Africa Mikhail Margelov.
Mali and the entire regional situation will be an important subject of Russian-French negotiations scheduled for late February when French President Francois Hollande visits Russia, Prodi said.
He stressed that the African continent must not transform into a battlefield and it was necessary to pool efforts for solving African problems.
