Mogadishu, Somalia (SONNA) – The Minister of Ports and Maritime Transport, Mr. Mahmoud Adan Geesood, held a high-level meeting with Ambassador Souef Mohamed El-Amine, the Special Representative of the African Union Commission and Head of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AUSSM), to discuss maritime security and the reconstruction of Somalia’s ports.

The meeting, which took place at the Minister’s office in Mogadishu, focused on the role of the AUSSM mission in Somalia, the challenges of securing the country’s maritime domain, and the ongoing efforts to rebuild and develop Somalia’s port infrastructure.

Minister Geesood expressed his gratitude to the African Union for its unwavering support in addressing Somalia’s maritime and port-related challenges. He emphasized the importance of continued collaboration between the Ministry of Ports and Maritime Transport and the African Union to advance the country’s maritime sector.

“The African Union has played a critical role in supporting Somalia’s efforts to enhance maritime security and develop its ports. We value this partnership and look forward to strengthening our cooperation to achieve our shared goals,” said Minister Geesood.

Ambassador Souef Mohamed El-Amine praised the Ministry for its dedication to improving Somalia’s maritime infrastructure and security. He reaffirmed the African Union’s commitment to supporting Somalia in achieving its development objectives.

“The African Union remains steadfast in its support for Somalia’s reconstruction and development. We will continue to work closely with the Ministry of Ports and Maritime Transport to ensure the successful implementation of initiatives aimed at enhancing maritime security and port development,” said Ambassador El-Amine.

The discussions also highlighted the strategic importance of Somalia’s ports in boosting the country’s economy and facilitating regional trade. Both parties agreed on the need for sustained efforts to modernize port facilities, improve security measures, and promote sustainable development in the maritime sector.
