Macron to attend G5 Sahel summit in Nouakchott on 30 June

摘要

French President Emmanuel Macron will travel to the Mauritanian capital on 30 June to attend the G5 Sahel summit together with the heads of the group's five member states (Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritiania and Niger). These presidents had suggested several dates for the event, which was initially scheduled for 29 and 30 June before being shortened due to the international health situation. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified in Mauritiania over recent weeks.
