Algiers, Algeria (SONNA) – Member of Parliament (MP) Ismail Idow Mohamed has officially assumed Somalia’s seat on the executive committee of the Arab Parliament. The transition took place during a high-level meeting in Algiers, Algeria, chaired by the Speaker of the Algerian Parliament and Arab Parliament President, Ibrahim Boughali.
The session focused on preparations for the upcoming General Conference of Speakers of Arab Parliaments.

MP Ismail Idow Mohamed is expected to advocate for Somalia’s interests while engaging in critical discussions on Arab unity, security, and development.
