Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs
“In light of the political leadership and the Egyptian state's interest in enhancing cooperation and fraternal relations between Egypt and the Federal Republic of Somalia, the new headquarters of the Egyptian Embassy in Mogadishu was inaugurated today,” the ministry said in a statement.
“This marks an important step towards supporting and strengthening the historical relations between the two brotherly nations,” it added.
The foreign ministry asserted that the move will help open new avenues for cooperation in all areas of mutual interest.
The new embassy, it added, aims to elevate the level of trade and economic relations between the two countries, especially following the launch of a direct EgyptAir flight between Cairo and Mogadishu in July.
Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mahmoud is expected to arrive in Cairo for an official visit on Tuesday, according to the Somali embassy.
