Farole and the delegation, led by European Commission Director for for East and Southern Africa Francesca Mosca, tackled a range of issues including Puntland's security, development and democratisation, co-operation with the Somali federal government, and the upcoming "New Deal" conference on Somalia in Brussels in September.

Mosca, who met with Somali Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon in Mogadishu on Tuesday, emphasised that Puntland is "an important region for our support".
