The meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation (OIC) Contact Group on Somalia kicked off Sunday in Doha. The two-day meeting is being hosted by Qatar.
The preparatory meeting for senior staff was led by Assistant Director of the International Organisations Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mohammed Ahmed al-Hammadi.
During the meeting, al-Hammadi highlighted the importance of collective work to support Somalia in confronting the challenges that the country is facing, and working on solutions based on a joint process in Somalia in co-operation with partners and stakeholders.
He affirmed Qatar's belief that sustainable solutions and ensuring the completion of development projects will break the cycle of needing foreign aid and create an infrastructure that will enable the government to achieve the aspirations of the brotherly Somali people for development, progress, and prosperity.
