Oktt 06 (Jowhar)- President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somalia recently met with H.E. President Isaias Afwerki of the State of Eritrea in what is being hailed as a significant diplomatic meeting between the two neighboring countries.
The meeting, which took place in Eritrea’s capital city of Asmara, is seen as a positive step towards fostering greater cooperation and understanding between the two nations.
The meeting between President Mohamud and President Afwerki focused on a range of issues, including regional security, economic cooperation, and the promotion of peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.

President Mohamud praised President Afwerki for his efforts to promote peace and stability in the region, particularly in the wake of the recent unrest in neighboring countries. He expressed his appreciation for Eritrea’s support for Somalia’s efforts to rebuild and develop its institutions, and for its role in facilitating dialogue and reconciliation among various factions within Somali society.
President Afwerki, in turn, commended President Mohamud for his leadership and vision in guiding Somalia through a period of transition and rebuilding.
