Dar es Salam, (SONNA) — The Ambassador of the Federal Government of Somalia to the Republic of Tanzania, H.E Ilyas Ali Hassan engaged in a bilateral relations meeting with the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation, Amb. Stephen Mbundi in Tanzania.

The meeting was held at the Ministry’s offices in Dar es Salaam on May 12, 2025. The primary agenda focused on expediting visa issuance for Somali citizens and the implementation of recent agreements and Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) between the two nations.

Furthermore, the ambassadors addressed the issue of visa-on-arrival for Somali nationals, considering various eligibility criteria, beginning with officials holding diplomatic and service passports, followed by ordinary passport holders. Ambassador Mbundi assured Ambassador Hassan that this matter is being addressed with utmost seriousness by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tanzania, particularly in light of the shared membership of both countries in the East African Community.

Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to enhancing cooperation across sectors such as investment, trade, tourism, and knowledge exchange. These initiatives aim to improve the livelihoods of citizens in both countries and promote mutual prosperity.
