Senior officials from Somalia and Ethiopia have convened in the capital city of Mogadishu to kick off the Somalia-Ethiopia Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC) meeting, scheduled to span three days which is intended to reinforce the mechanisms governing political, economic, and social cooperation between the two nations.
Hamse Adan Haadoow, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Somalia, delivered a statement during the meeting, underscoring Somalia’s commitment to fostering deeper ties with its neighbor, Ethiopia, with the aim of achieving mutual benefits across various spheres.
In a corresponding address, Fisseha Shawl, the Director General of African Affairs at the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, expressed his anticipation that this meeting would serve as a robust catalyst for bolstering bilateral relations across multiple sectors and exploring extensive avenues for cooperation. He emphasized that the connection between Somalia and Ethiopia is one of fraternal bonds forged through shared history.
Also, high-ranking officials representing both nations previously engaged in similar discussions in Addis Ababa a few months ago, with a particular focus on aviation and regional security matters.
