欧盟成员国外长本周举行马里特别会议
2013年1月15日![People hold a banner reading '' national concertations, right now'' during a demonstration on January 9, 2013 in Bamako to ask for ''immediate days of sovereign consultation'' on the transition in Mali. Mali, once considered one of the region's most stable democracies, was plunged into crisis by a March 22 coup that overthrew the elected government and created a power vacuum that enabled Ansar Dine and two Al-Qaeda-linked Islamist groups to seize control of the vast desert north. NATO said on January 9 that it had not been asked to assist a military alliance in resolving the armed conflict in Mali as Burkina Faso's president pushed for renewed talks between Islamist fighters and the Malian government.

欧盟共同外交与安全政策高级代表阿什顿邀请各成员国外长本周四(1月17日)在布鲁塞尔出席马里局势紧急会议。据今天从布鲁塞尔外交圈内传出的消息,欧盟外交署正进行相关准备工作。此次会议上将主要讨论欧盟成员国如何向马里政府和对法国在该国北部打击伊斯兰叛乱武装的行动提供支持。阿什顿本人昨晚表示,支持措施中包括帮助培训马里政府军、向西非经济共同体国家派遣的支援部队提供资金及后勤援助,以及直接向马里政府提供帮助。阿什顿没有提及一些欧盟议员所提出的派遣欧盟战斗部队的要求。
