Mareeg.com-Somali President said: “Arab nations need to rise to the
challenges that collectively face us. We lag behind in terms of human
development and we need to do much better adapting our political institutions
to the twenty-first century. The old models haven’t worked. We must now
demonstrate unity of purpose if we are to make the progress our people
deserve.”
Arab leaders will be discussing resolutions on the crisis in
Syria
and the Arab peace initiative.
Arab countries were important diplomatic and development
partners as Somalia
was rebuilding its economy and political institutions, the President said. He
will hold a series of bilateral meetings with Arab leaders focused on a range
of issues.
“We will be discussing peace-building initiatives and
development projects and updating our colleagues on the success we are having
in our offensive against Al Shabaab,” the President said. “After the military
victory against our enemies we will be looking to find a lasting solution to
the conflict and repeat our unconditional offer to work with all Somalis who
renounce violence. We are all Somalis and must join forces to rebuild our
country.” dalsanradio.com
