Moroccan - Malian cooperation in youth, sports probed in Rabat

Moroccan secretary of state for foreign affairs and cooperation, Taib Fassi Fihri, conferred here Monday with Malian minister of youth and sports, Osman Issoufi Maiga, on bilateral cooperation in matters of youth and sports.

Maiga who is currently on a visit to Morocco briefed the Moroccan official on preparations underway for the Africa nations football cup "can-2002."

Can-2002-- to be staged in Mali January 19 through February 10-- will surely serve the interests of African youth, Fassi Fihri said.
