The Somali Coastguard received a Response Boat–Small (RB-S) from Turkish military officials in a ceremony in Mogadishu.
This handover, attended by State Minister for Defence Omar Gamaar, Turkish Ambassador to Somalia Alper Aktaş, and the Chief of the National Armed Forces, signifies a strengthening of Somalia-Turkey defense relations and aims to enhance maritime security capabilities along the Somali coast.
This support comes as part of Türkiye’s ongoing commitment to bolster Somalia’s security infrastructure and assist in countering threats like piracy and smuggling in the region.
