The administration of President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has promised to work closely with the interim leadership of SSC-Khaatumo.
A meeting between officials from the federal government and the leadership of SSC-Khaatumo on Thursday settled a number of issues.
Officials from the Ministry of Interior, Federal Affairs, and Reconciliation represented the federal government at the talks with SSC-Khaatumo.
The meeting follows a recent visit to Mogadishu by Abdulkadir Ahmed Aw-Ali Firdhiye, the leader of SSC-Khaatumo.
Firdhiye held discussions with President Mohamud and Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre among other senior federal government officials.
SSC-Khaatumo has been advocating for its recognition as the newest regional state. Somalia already has five Federal Member States (FMS). SSC-Khaatumo could be the sixth.
