Muqdisho (Caasimada Online) – The President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, is participating in high-level African events taking place in Al-Alamein, Egypt from October 2 to 4.

The meetings the president is attending include the Al-Alamein Africa Forum, the summit of the founding countries of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD), and the 8th Mid-Year Coordination Meeting of the African Union.

These events will bring together leaders from African countries, ministers, and senior officials, as well as representatives from private companies, financial institutions, and investment-related entities.

The main agendas of the meetings focus on strengthening economic integration on the continent, sustainable development, investment and trade, as well as cooperation between governments and African businesses.

The Al-Alamein Forum will also showcase major projects and investment opportunities in African countries, with a focus on production sectors and companies operating on the continent.

Additionally, the forum is expected to facilitate direct connections between governments, businesses, investors, and financial institutions to create additional cooperation and investment opportunities.

The plan to hold the Al-Alamein Africa Forum every two years was approved by the African Union Summit in February 2026, with Egypt hosting the forum in close collaboration with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank).

President Hassan Sheikh's participation comes at a time when African countries are focusing on enhancing economic cooperation, investment, and connecting the continent's markets.
