As Somalia improves the efficiency and capacity of Mogadishu Port under the leadership of @AmbAmerico, the country is also planning a new port to seize the opportunities of the future.

Read an article highlighting the investment opportunities in the new port led by @nmdcsom

[Hiiraan Online @hiiraan]

Why the new Mogadishu maritime port deserves global investor attention: Somalia is rebuilding rapidly after decades of conflict. Investment opportunities are opening up across several sectors as the country seeks to take its place in the Horn of Africa… https://t.co/ilAkPN50Xv

@KBCChannel1 @MusaliaMudavadi Why is one country (France) bringing together 54 African countries for a summit? This is embarrassing for Africa. We should be having Africa-Europe Summits or Asia-Africa Summits.

@KBCChannel1 @MusaliaMudavadi This is just half of the story. The reality is electricity in Kenya is significantly more expensive than in neighbouring countries. This is due to the high cost of power purchased from private power generators. Result? Inflated costs of doing business.

@AmbAmerico @Anewz_tv @MPortAuthority Encouraging to see the ongoing steady progress and reforms at Mogadishu Port under the leadership of @AmbAmerico in partnership with Alport Mogadishu. Keep going. All the best.

@FT America and Israel have caused untold destruction to the global economy by this unjustified war of aggression. They should compensate developing countries for the economic losses.

Interesting and insightful article by Ambassador @AmbGuoHaiyan on why China's #zerotariffpolicy opens a new chapter of China-Africa ties. Worth a read.

@Jingjing_Li Wonderful move by China, which is a good partner for Africa. Now it's time for African countries to strengthen their capacity to consistently export high quality goods to the vast Chinese market.

@XH_Lee23 While China has eliminated tariffs for African countries, the US is foisting new trade barriers, including tarriffs and non-tarriff barriers. Kudos China. Now African countries need to step up and seize the opportunity.

🇨🇳🤝🏻🌍Starting from today, Zero tariff on products from all 53 African countries that have diplomatic ties with China.

@Palestine_fa Good move by the Palestinian representative. Don't shake the bloody Zionist hands of genocide, terror and apartheid.

[Global South Policy Forum @GlobalSouthF]

@TheEconomist Like other western media, you have nothing positive to say about Africa. Your slanted and biased coverage of the continent is costing your credibility.

@ChineseEmbKenya China’s zero-tariff policy for Kenya and other African countries takes effect today. The market is opening, but Kenya must be ready to supply.

@ChineseEmbKenya Avocados stand out. Kenya already exports at scale, and demand in China is growing. With better aggregation, cold chain and consistent quality, we can compete strongly. Zero tariffs help, but reliability will decide who wins this market.

@russembkenya These catastrophic actions against soviet citizens qualify as genocide and holocaust. Unfortunately, World War history only focuses on the reported loss of lives by the Jewish community and forgets the Russians and others.

@SingoeiAKorir @ForeignOfficeKE Next time, mandate that participants put their phones/ devices away. Some are busy scrolling and don't seem to care.

@SingoeiAKorir @HuaweiKenya @ForeignOfficeKE Does tree planting need a plaque?

This screams weakness, not strength.
