Mogadishu, Somalia – The Somali Prime Minister met with a Qatari delegation to discuss ways to expand economic and investment cooperation between the two countries.
This comes as part of Mogadishu’s efforts to attract more Arab investment and support development and reconstruction plans.
The meeting addressed opportunities for joint projects in several vital sectors, with a focus on areas with significant growth potential.
This would contribute to strengthening the Somali economy and opening new horizons for investors.
Improving the investment environment
Both sides emphasized the importance of developing economic relations and translating cooperation opportunities into practical projects,
particularly in the infrastructure, energy, transportation, agriculture, and livestock sectors. These are areas of significant importance to the Somali economy.
The meeting also discussed ways to improve the investment climate and streamline procedures for capital inflows, which would help attract companies and investors.
This, in turn, would contribute to strengthening the role of the private sector in the development process.
The Somali government is working to expand its partnerships with Arab countries, leveraging the country’s strategic location, economic potential, and natural resources.
This comes in addition to the growing need for infrastructure and services projects.
Boosting the economy and achieving sustainable growth
Cooperation with Qatar comes within this context. Mogadishu is counting on foreign investment to support development projects, create jobs, improve services, and enhance the economy’s capacity for sustainable growth.
The two sides are expected to continue coordinating on investment opportunities and priority projects.
This is anticipated to strengthen bilateral relations and pave the way for a new phase of economic cooperation between Somalia and Qatar.
