TOKYO: Japan said it is deeply concerned by the unfolding developments in Mali, where a group of Malian army soldiers arrested President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, Prime Minister Boubou Cisse as well as other members of the Government of Mali by force.

A statement by the foreign Ministry in Tokyo said Japan strongly condemns such actions by the group of army soldiers, joining the messages in the statement of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission, the communique issued by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and the statement attributable to the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General condemning the actions by them.

Japan called on all parties concerned regarding the situation in Mali to restore constitutional order at an early date, halt violence, and make efforts toward a peaceful solution to the ongoing unrest.
