[Amb. Gamal M Hassan @AmbGamal]

I am pleased that two productive days of discussions and agreements on trade, investment and partnerships at the EU-Somalia Business Forum in Mogadishu have concluded successfully.

Hundreds of Somali companies and dozens of European firms took part in this important event, jointly organised by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the EU Delegation in Somalia. It marks a clear step forward in our drive to shift from aid to trade and investment.

I thank the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister, fellow ministers, ambassadors, officials, the Chamber of Commerce and business leaders from both sides for their support.

Somalia remains firmly committed to expanding trade, attracting investment and removing barriers for our private sector.
