Foreign Minister Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu met with Somalia’s newly appointed Foreign Minister Ahmed Isse Awad on the sidelines of the 32nd ordinary session of the  Executive Council’s Meeting of the AU. Congratulating the FM for the new post, Dr. Workneh underlined Ethiopia’s principled position towards invigorating the ties to a higher gear. Recalling President Mohammed Abdulahi’s  recent visit to Ethiopia, Dr. Workneh noted  since then the bilateral ties have enhanced significantly. The Foreign Minister has also underscored the benefits the two countries would garner if they can speed up the launch of the Joint Ministerial Commission sooner. Dr. Workneh has also extended his invitation to Somali Elders to make a visit to Ethiopia to further cement the strong people to people ties.

The new Somali Foreign Minister on his behalf stressed his Government’s commitment to further take the cooperation between the two countries to another level. He has commended Ethiopia for its exemplary roles towards ensuring peace and stability to the region in particular and the world in general and its principled diplomatic moves both on bilateral and multilateral fora.

The two countries have scheduled to launch their first Joint Ministerial Commission in early March 2018.
