Mogadishu, (SONNA) – The Minister of Interior Federal Affairs and Reconciliation of the Federal Government of Somalia, H.E Ahmed Macalin Fiqi, met high-level delegations from India today in Mogadishu, led by Dr. Sureh Kumara, a senior officer at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, the two sides discussed a range of topics, including cooperation between the countries and the progress that the Somali government has made in security and development projects.
Also present at the meeting were Somalia’s ambassador to India, Mr. Ahmed Ali Dahir, and members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Government of Somalia.
The discussion focused on the issue of Somali citizens who have difficulties in traveling to neighboring countries to obtain visas for health and education.
Minister Fiqi urged Indian officials to provide visa services closer to the people by opening a consulate in Mogadishu so that Somali citizens needing to travel to India for medical and educational purposes can get visas without traveling to another country.
