Abdirizak made these comments when he received Mehmet Yilmaz, the Turkish Ambassador to Somalia, in his office on December 3.
The new foreign affairs minister hailed Turkey for “consistently standing by Somalia.”
He also mentioned the incredible assistance that Turkey continues to extend towards the East African nation’s military.
Turkey’s contribution towards Somalia’s development aid and the immediate response it provided to enable the latter to respond effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic were hailed too.
