Mohamed Younes El-Menfi, President of the Libyan Presidential Council, and Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud held a joint press conference in Tripoli on Tuesday.
The joint presser, which followed talks they held earlier in the day, underscores the importance of collaboration between Libya and Somalia within international frameworks such as the Arab League, the African Union, and the United Nations.
Both leaders emphasized the potential for joint initiatives that leverage their memberships in these organizations to advance shared goals, particularly in education and development.
President El-Menfi highlighted Somalia’s significant role in international forums, especially as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.
This position provides Somalia with a platform to influence global discussions and decisions, which can be beneficial for both countries when working together.
The leaders expressed their commitment to enhancing their global influence through cooperation in various sectors, with a particular focus on education as a means to achieve developmental objectives.
This meeting reflects a broader strategy of African nations strengthening ties and leveraging multilateral platforms to address common challenges and amplify their voices on the global stage.
By working together, Libya and Somalia aim to maximize their impact in international forums and contribute to regional and global stability and development.
