A high-level Turkish defense and energy delegation arrived in Mogadishu on Thursday.
The delegation is expected to join Somali officials in welcoming the seismic exploration vessel, Oruç Reis, which is en route to Somalia for an energy research mission.
This mission underscores the strengthening cooperation between Somalia and Türkiye in the energy sector, likely focusing on exploring Somalia’s offshore oil and gas potential.
The arrival of the Oruç Reis could mark a significant step forward in Somalia’s quest to leverage its natural resources for economic development.
