New York, (SONNA) – Finance Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E. Biixi Imaan Cige, officially presented a traditional Somali artifact — the Haan — to the World Bank during the closing ceremony of the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings.
This marks the first time in history that a symbol reflecting Somali culture has been displayed at the World Bank headquarters.
The Haan, a traditional milk container, embodies the values of resilience, cooperation, and progress — key principles deeply rooted in Somali society.
