Somali Prime Minister Hamsa Abdi Barre on Saturday received a senior Arab League delegation in Mogadishu, where the regional body pledged to support the country’s education sector and strengthen the teaching of Arabic.
The delegation, led by Zayd Al-Sabbaan, Director of the Horn of Africa and Sudan Department at the Arab League, said the initiative was part of broader efforts to boost cooperation with Somalia in politics, economics and development.
Barre thanked the Arab League for what he described as consistent support in diplomacy, education and state-building, as well as its role in Somalia’s debt relief and economic recovery.
In a statement, the Arab League delegation commended Mogadishu’s recent progress and emphasized the need to expand cooperation.
The Prime Minister’s office did not provide further details on the scope or location of the education project.
The visit underscores the Arab League’s efforts to deepen engagement with Somalia at a time when the government is seeking new partnerships to strengthen institutions and rebuild a nation battered by decades of conflict.
