Antonio was received as an envoy of Angolan President Joao Lourenco, the acting chair of the AU.
"This is about exploring, in a spirit of constructive dialogue, ways to collectively support the fight against terrorism and promote development in the Sahel," he was quoted by a post on the Malian presidency's social media as saying.
The discussions with Goita focused on ways and means to strengthen the bonds between Africans, reinforcing African solidarity and shared destiny, said Antonio, reaffirming the AU chair's commitment to "the stability and security of Mali and the entire Sahel region."
Before arriving in Bamako, the AU envoy had visited Burkina Faso on Monday.
