Foreign Relations Of Mali
Following independence in 1960, Mali initially followed a socialist path and was aligned ideologically with the communist bloc.

Mali is reported to be one of the largest recipients of U.S. aid in Africa.Mali country profile Library of Cong ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
