شاركت اليوم في منتدى التجارة والاستثمار الصومالي–الصيني في مقديشو الذي أقامتها وزارة التجارة والصناعة، حيث أكدت على أهمية تعزيز الشراكة الاقتصادية مع جمهورية الصين، واستقطاب المزيد من الاستثمارات النوعية إلى الصومال.

يمتلك قطاع الثروة السمكية والاقتصاد الأزرق فرصًا واعدة للاستثمار في الصيد البحري، وسلاسل القيمة، والبنية التحتية، والتصنيع السمكي، بما يسهم في خلق فرص العمل، ودعم المجتمعات الساحلية، وتعزيز النمو الاقتصادي، مع الالتزام بالاستدامة وحماية مواردنا البحرية.

الصومال يمتلك ثروة بحرية هائلة، ونسعى إلى تحويل هذه الإمكانات إلى فرص استثمارية حقيقية وشراكات استراتيجية تعود بالنفع على شعبنا واقتصادنا. 🇸🇴🇨🇳🌊
