[REGNUM] The growing tension in the Sahara-Sahel region, in which it is necessary to unite efforts for a more effective fight against terrorism, causes concern in Russia and Mauritania. This was stated on February 8 by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at a press conference following a meeting with Mauritanian President Mohammed Ould Ghazwani in Nouakchott.

As the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry noted, during the talks the parties discussed the problems of African countries.

“We, like our Mauritanian colleagues, are concerned about the growing tension in the Sahara-Sahel region, where it is necessary to unite efforts to more effectively combat terrorist manifestations, which have not disappeared anywhere and are even growing to some extent ,” he said.

In addition, Lavrov pointed out that during the talks they also discussed a settlement in Western Sahara, since Russia was a member of the Group of Friends of Western Sahara, which was preparing steps to implement the existing decisions of the UN Security Council.

"But now there is a pause in this issue. We consider it necessary to return to an active search for concrete steps to bring this situation out of the impasse and to promote a settlement based on the existing decisions of the UN Security Council," the head of the Russian Foreign Ministry added.

As REGNUM reported , earlier it became known that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his counterpart from Mauritania, Mohammed Salem Ould Merzoug, discussed the situation in Ukraine and the negative consequences of the crisis associated with it for African countries.
