Egypt on Saturday reiterated its full solidarity with the people of Somalia, along with its enduring commitment to supporting efforts to achieve security and stability in Somalia through Egypt's effective contribution to the African Union Support and Stabilization Mission in Somalia (AUSSOM).

This AUSSOM contributes to creating environments conducive for Somalia to assume full responsibility for maintaining security and stability, in alignment with the aspirations of the Somali people toward a secure future that opens opportunities for progress and development, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press statement.

The statement added that the Egyptian position comes in the wake of key regional developments in the Horn of Africa, as well as internal developments in Somalia and its government's unwavering efforts to enforce the law and counterterrorism.
