Somalia and Egypt have moved to deepen diplomatic ties by signing two key agreements between them in a significant step toward enhancing bilateral relations.
The visa waiver for diplomatic passport holders will streamline official engagements, while the cooperation on diplomatic training highlights a mutual commitment to strengthening institutional capacities.
The presence of Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Egypt’s President Abdelfattah El-Sisi at the signing ceremony in Cairo underlines the strategic importance of this partnership, particularly in advancing trade, cultural exchange, and security.
These agreements could serve as a foundation for broader collaboration in addressing regional challenges and fostering stability.
Ahmed Fiqi and Badr Abdelatty, the foreign affairs ministers of Somalia and Egypt respectively, led their teams in negotiating the terms of the two agreements.
