HE Minister of Foreign Affairs of Somalia Amb. Ahmed Isse Awad met with his counterparts from Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Djibouti, South Sudan and Uganda to accept and vote for the candidate, HE Dr. Abdusalam Hadliye Omer, former Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The foreign minister and international cooperation of the Federal Republic of Somalia met with his counterparts in Addis Ababa on the sidelines of the 32nd ordinary session of the Executive Council’s Meeting of the AU.
Although Somalia is a founding member of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), officially announces its candidature and competes for the first time in the Executive Secretary of IGAD, which was founded on the idea of some heads of state of the Horn of Africa, including the former military president of the Somali Democratic Republic, General Mohamed Siad Barre.
