German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock arrived in Mali earlier this week, hours after the European Union said it would halt its mission training troops there.
Germany has some 1,100 soldiers in the country as part of a United Nations peacekeeping operation, as well as some 300 dedicated to the EU military training mission (EUTM Mali) there.
Baerbock said Germany's military operations in Mali were "enormously important," adding that the mission was a "great challenge" for the Bundeswehr.
Berlin is deciding on whether to keep its soldiers in the country as concerns mount about operations involving Russian private mercenary firm the Wagner Group and Mali's post-coup military government.
