This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the Republic of Mali. Commemorative stamps, one featuring an Aid Mali Bamako University Project undertaken by SIPPR Engineering Group Co affiliated to Sinomach, were released at the celebrations.

The project, located in the capital of Mali, was a result of the efforts made by the two countries to ensure the progress of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, and is as an important local livelihood project.

The project will be constructed in two phases. At present, the first phase has been completed and the next phase of construction, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2021, has begun.

When completed, it will further deepen bilateral cooperation in education and greatly contribute to the sound development of China-Africa relations.
