In a landmark move aimed at fostering closer ties and addressing shared challenges, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the Somali president have agreed to restore and enhance their bilateral relations.

During President Mohamud’s working visit to Ethiopia, the two leaders reaffirmed their commitment to full diplomatic representation in their respective capitals and issued a joint communique outlining plans for strengthened cooperation in various key areas.
The discussions emphasized the necessity of coordinated efforts to address regional security concerns, particularly in combating extremist militant groups. The leaders agreed to instruct their respective security agencies to bolster collaboration in promoting peace and stability. Highlighting the evolving threats posed by these groups, both governments underscored the importance of mutual trust and confidence in fostering a secure environment for their nations and the region.

Economic cooperation featured prominently in the talks, with the leaders agreeing to enhance trade, investment, and infrastructure linkages. These efforts aim to facilitate shared prosperity through more robust economic collaboration. Expanding infrastructure connections, such as transportation and communication networks, was identified as a crucial step toward realizing these economic goals.

The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to the Ankara Declaration, a foundational agreement that underscores the spirit of friendship and solidarity between Ethiopia and Somalia. Both parties agreed to expedite technical discussions envisaged in the declaration to ensure the swift implementation of its provisions.
