Dahir Hails Somalia’s Economic and Security Partnership with Turkey

With unwavering support from the Republic of Turkey, Somalia continues to make significant strides toward becoming a secure, stable, and self-reliant nation. Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Dahir Shire, reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening both economic resilience and national security as part of a long-term development vision.

Shire highlighted that Somalia is actively working to harness its vast natural resource potential—both onshore and offshore—including untapped mineral reserves. He emphasized that through responsible resource management and international partnerships like the one with Turkey, Somalia can accelerate job creation, infrastructure development, and sustainable growth.

This partnership with Turkey not only boosts economic initiatives but also reinforces security cooperation, helping to stabilize regions affected by conflict and underdevelopment. Somalia envisions a future where natural wealth becomes a driver for peace, prosperity, and national unity.
