AES: Burkina seeks to leverage US dialogue to expand discussions

Burkina Faso and the United States have established a joint working group in Ouagadougou to strengthen their cooperation, with the potential to expand relations to the Sahel States Confederation (AES), which includes Burkina, Mali, and Niger. The mechanism aims to identify areas of mutual benefit and address existing issues. Burkina's Foreign Minister, Karamoko Jean Marie Traoré, emphasized that this initiative could reshape relations not only bilaterally but also regionally within the Sahel, promoting coordinated efforts among the member states.
