The Somali president  said:

“Turkey did not hold back, waiting for stability before it invested. Instead, it invested to achieve it.”

“Where other international partners chose to plan their interventions from elsewhere, Turkey put its people on the ground in Somalia.”

Turkish President Erdogan praised the “major developments” seen in Somalia, after he was welcomed at the new Turkish-renovated airport by his counterpart.
