Contacts between Malian authorities and private security companies are the sovereign right of the country, said Vsevolod Tkachenko, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Africa Department.
“Contacts between the state and private contractors is a sovereign right of the Malian government,” Tkachenko was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti. – … Russia is not responsible for the actions of private companies … The Russian government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have nothing to do with private contracts.
The diplomat also noted that assistance to Mali in the fight against terrorism is a field for cooperation, not pique.
