Doha (HOL) - Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud arrived
in Doha on Sunday to attend the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit, scheduled for
Sunday and Monday.
Upon arrival at Hamad International Airport, President
Mohamud and his delegation were received by Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister and
Minister of State for Defense Affairs, Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman bin Hassan
Al-Thani, along with Somalia’s Ambassador to Qatar, Mohamed Ahmed Sheikh Ali.
Somalia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and International
Cooperation, Abdisalam Abdi Ali, took part earlier on Sunday in the preparatory
ministerial meeting for the summit. The meeting focused on the Israeli attack
on Qatar on September 9, highlighting the need for Arab and Islamic unity in
addressing the crisis. Ministers also reviewed a draft resolution to be

The emergency summit is expected to establish a unified
regional stance on the attack, reflecting leaders’ concerns about its
implications for security and stability in the wider region.
President Mohamud and members of his delegation are also
expected to hold bilateral talks with heads of state and officials attending
the summit, focusing on Somalia’s security and development priorities.
