Japan-EMP: a fruitful partnership

The Japanese Embassy in Mali handed over this Tuesday, November 05, 2019, a large batch of rolling stock to the Alioune Blondin BEYE Peacekeeping School. A gesture appreciated at its true value by the persons in charge of this school.

It is a Toyota land cruiser V8, a Toyota land cruiser PRADO, a Toyota land cruiser WAGON and a Toyota land cruiser pickup double cabin. All things that will enable the EMP-ABB to increase mobility for trainees and staff but also to reduce geographical constraints in the organization of courses.

For the Ambassador of Japan to Mali SEM. Daisuke Kuroki, This Don is financed by his country, through the UNDP-Japan Partnership Fund for an amount of 187 million F CFA. That is why he will say that Japan, since the installation of the EMP-ABB in Mali in 2007, is constantly making its contributions in favor of the peacekeeping school. He also added that his country has already granted to the school, the sum of 3 billions of CFA francs approximately.

In his speech, the Director General of EMP-ABB, Colonel Major Mody Berethé, emphasized that the gesture of Japan today, reflects in more than one way the constancy and excellence of relations between the two countries .
