“Tonight, I spoke with H.E. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the phone to discuss Somalia–Türkiye cooperation in energy, the blue economy, and security,” Mohamud wrote.
President Mohamud expressed appreciation for Türkiye’s continued support in Somalia’s development efforts and welcomed its renewed commitment to strengthening military assistance in the country’s fight against terrorism.
