A statement from the Moroccan Embassy in Nigeria quotes King Muhammed VI as making the pledge during the inauguration of the new Mali President, Ibrahim Boubakar Keita.
Citing Morocco and Mali’s shared values of tolerance, openness, deep cultural and spiritual bonds, the king pledged support in the training of 500 Malian Imams using Morocco’s moderate and tolerant form of Islam to help fight the spread of extremism.  While canvassing for tangible and intangible reconstruction of Mali in line with spiritual and cultural dimensions, the king noted that any concerted international action that does not give due consideration to the philosophy in the place may be doomed for failure.
“The dream of a peaceful Mali has now come true. In this new chapter of Mali, Morocco will remain a faithful and committed partner.
