Mogadishu (HO) — Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre on
Wednesday met with a delegation from the Iraqi government that arrived in
Mogadishu to strengthen cooperation and relations between the two brotherly
nations.
The meeting focused on enhancing collaboration in security
and counterterrorism, as well as promoting investment in key sectors such as
fisheries, energy, agriculture, and livestock.
Both sides agreed on the importance of deepening bilateral
cooperation to explore new trade and development opportunities and to further
expand the historic ties between Somalia and Iraq.
In August 2025, an Iraqi delegation led by General Ziyad
Daha Ali, Adviser to the Minister of Interior, and Lieutenant General Al
Anshoor Manaati, Director of the International Cooperation Department at Iraq’s
Ministry of Interior, visited Mogadishu on an official mission.
That visit focused on strengthening the brotherly
relationship between the two countries, with particular emphasis on security
collaboration, counterterrorism, police training, and the exchange of
expertise.
