Somalia: President Isaias Holds Talks With Somali President

[Shabelle] Egypt -- President Isaias Afwerki met with Mr. Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of the Federal Republic of Somalia, in El Alamein City in the mid-morning hours today for extensive talks on bilateral relations and other matters of vital importance to both countries.

On a recent visit to El Alamein City, President Isaias Afwerki of Eritrea engaged in extensive discussions with the President of Somalia, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud. The primary focus of their dialogue was strengthening bilateral relations and addressing matters of significant importance to both nations. Both leaders emphasized the need to foster a political environment that is free from external interference, with the goal of preserving Somalia's territorial integrity, stability, and peace.

During the talks, President Isaias pointed out that federal governance systems in Somalia and other regional countries have frequently failed to meet the aspirations of their people for unity and cohesion. He suggested that governance architectures based on citizenship should replace those that divide along socio-economic, religious, and ethnic lines, which often lead to persistent crises and foreign interventions.

President Mohamud expressed his appreciation to President Isaias and the Eritrean populace for their steadfast support of the Somali government and its people.

In addition to his meeting with the Somali President, President Isaias also held extensive talks with General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Chairman of Sudan's Sovereignty Council. These discussions took place during the Quadrilateral Consultative Summit, a gathering that regularly brings together leaders to discuss bilateral relations and other shared interests.
