Washington (HOL) — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on
Saturday visited his country’s embassy in the United States, meeting staff and
reviewing services provided to Somali citizens as part of a broader push to
strengthen diplomatic ties with Washington.
The president toured the embassy’s service delivery
departments, received reports on consular operations, and praised diplomats for
their work on behalf of Somalia.
Mohamud’s visit came after a week of engagements in New
York, where he attended the 80th UN General Assembly and held sideline talks
with world leaders.
Somali Ambassador to the U.S., Dahir Arab, said the
president’s trip was aimed at deepening cooperation with Washington in
security, economic development and politics.
During his stay, Mohamud also met U.S. officials,
politicians and representatives of international organizations to discuss
continued international support for Somalia’s stability and development.
The embassy described the visit as part of a strategic
effort to elevate Somalia’s international profile, strengthen bilateral
relations, and advance cooperation on regional peace and prosperity.
