On the peace and security front, the United Nations will support implementation of the peace agreement signed in June this year, he said.

UN will continue supporting actions of the Malian government that are aimed at advancing the reforms agenda and reinforce public institutions, deepen the decentralization process and guarantee respect for human rights, he affirmed.
