President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has departed the country to start an official visit to Eritrea.
The Somalia President departed the country on the afternoon of July 9.
He departed a few hours after leading the East African nation in the Eid al-Adha prayers earlier on Saturday.
President Mohamud is scheduled to hold meetings with senior Eritrean government officials.
For the last few years, Eritrea has been in the news a lot in Somalia.
Several leaders claimed that thousands of young Somali men and women underwent advanced military training in Eritrea.
Recently, Somali government officials stated that many of the Somali youths who were in Eritrea for the military training died before returning home.
Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki invited the Somali President officially.
