Somalia to Participate in the Construction of an International Coalition to Combat Communication and Internet Misinformation

Chongqing – The Director General of the Ministry of Internal Security of the Federal Government of Somalia, Mr. Mohamed H. Shire, is representing Somalia at a conference where delegations from 48 countries are discussing an agreement to establish an international coalition to combat the misuse of communication and the internet.

The conference, which has been ongoing for three days in the city of Chongqing in China, from October 27 to 29, focused on the framework of the agreement, the legal basis of the coalition, and the methods by which participating countries will collaborate to prevent and combat these acts.

This meeting follows the conference that launched this initiative earlier this year in the city of Lianyungang in China. The ongoing negotiations are part of efforts to lay the groundwork for the formal establishment of the international coalition.

Somalia's participation in these negotiations provides the country with an opportunity to engage in international efforts to establish a legal framework and collaborative methods for countries to address the misuse occurring in communication and the internet.
