Prime Minister Hamza: We are committed to the development and enhancement of national institutions

Mogadishu — The Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, Hamza Abdi Barre, has officially launched the restoration of the international airline ticketing system IATA-BSP, which Somalia has regained after 35 years.

The Prime Minister stated that the restoration of this system resulted from long-standing efforts, institutional reforms, the preparation of regulations and policies, and training personnel capable of taking on air traffic management responsibilities. He noted that Somalia has made progress in various areas, including economic growth, debt relief, joining the East African Community, and taking over national security.

Hamza Abdi Barre also pointed out that the connection between government agencies and the rebuilding of national capacities are fundamental to Somalia's recovery. He mentioned that the country has significant investment opportunities, particularly in transportation, agriculture, and various production sectors, as Somalia is located in a strategic position connecting the continents of the world.

“I congratulate the Somali community on this great step we have taken today. We are committed to further developing and enhancing national institutions. I am confident that we will reach the developed world that we have been away from for the past 30 years. The Somali government is determined for our country to achieve significant progress,” said Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre.

The Prime Minister praised the efforts of the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation and the Somali Civil Aviation Authority, urging them to accelerate the development and enhancement of airports, air traffic management in the country, and flight services.

He stated that the development of these services is crucial for enhancing the quality of services received by the public and airlines, and for ensuring the connectivity of Somalia with the rest of the world.
