Japan to offer $35.2 million to Somalia for security, infrastructure

Monday, February 08, 2010

 

TOKYO — Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada told his counterpart from the Somali transitional government on Monday that Japan will offer $35.2 million for police assistance, infrastructure maintenance and other purposes, a Japanese Foreign Ministry official said.

 

Prior to the talks in Tokyo, Ali Ahmed Jama Jangeli, the minister of the Somali transitional federal government that was established in 2005, called for Japan’s help in ensuring security in the country which is a hotbed of Islamist rebels and pirates, telling a press conference that the people of the African nation need alternative options to support themselves.
