Somalia has appealed to the United States for assistance in tackling terrorism financing.
Dr. Elmi M. Nur presented Somalia’s request during his visit to Washington on Thursday.
He requested the assistance in his meeting with Brian Nelson.
Dr. Nur is Somalia’s Minister of Finance while Nelson is the US Under Secretary of Treasury.
They discussed the progress of the ongoing economic reforms in Somalia too.
Somalia has escalated the war on terror within its borders over the last 12 months.
The war on terror is now more advanced ever since President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud assumed office in May last year.
