Mogadishu, Somalia – Somalia’s Minister of Fisheries and Blue Economy, Mr. Ahmed Hassan Aden, today received the Chinese Ambassador to Somalia, Ambassador Wang Yu, and a visiting delegation at the Ministry’s headquarters in Mogadishu. The Director General of the Ministry, Mr. Abdi Diirshe, also attended the meeting.

The discussions focused on strengthening the historic relationship between Somalia and China, with particular emphasis placed on expanding economic cooperation, especially within the vital sectors of fisheries and the blue economy.

Minister Ahmed Hassan Aden lauded the existing cooperative relationship in the fisheries and blue economy trade between the two countries. He reiterated the Ministry’s commitment to actively developing marketing opportunities for Somali fish products on the international stage.

In a significant move, Ambassador Wang Yu affirmed the readiness of the Chinese government to open its large markets to Somali businesses involved in fishing and the blue economy. He highlighted that these products could be sold tax-free in China, presenting a potentially lucrative opportunity for Somali exporters.

Beyond trade, the two sides also agreed to enhance collaboration in combating illegal fishing activities. They pledged to work together to support the development of legal and sustainable fishing practices and foster the overall growth of the blue economy between Somalia and China.

The meeting concluded with both the Minister and the Ambassador jointly reaffirming their support for safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia and the Government of China.
