Somali PM Holds Meeting With Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister

Somali PM Hassan Ali Khaire has held a meeting with Qatari deputy prime minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Doha on Tuesday.

“It was an honor to have a fruitful meeting with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Qatar government Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani. We discussed strengthening bilateral relations, economic co-operation, and security.” The PM said.
