Somalia PM holds bilateral talks with Kenyan Defense Minister

Somalia Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre
has hosted on Thursday Kenyan Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Defence and First Leader of Majority Party
Aden Dualo in Mogadishu.

The two sides discussed a spectrum of bilateral issues among which were regional security situation, joint anti-terror operations, cross-border movements, and economic relations between the two countries.

Aden Duale, who is of Somali descent, said Somalia has had its share of forced instability caused by rifts and wars noting that even amidst all these challenges, they have continued to be Kenya’s good neighbours and friends.

Duale and Vice Chief of Defence Forces Lt Gen Francis Ogolla this week also visited Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops serving under the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS) at sector six headquarters in Kismayu, Somalia in a bid to boost their morale.

The visit was also to commemorate the festive season with them in their operation areas. Also, Duale held a meeting with president Ahmed Madobe while in Kismayo, Jubaland.
