The meeting, which took place at the Arab League’s headquarters in Cairo, brought together foreign ministers from the Arab countries committee dedicated to supporting Somalia.

The focus of the discussions was on enhancing Arab solidarity and support for Somalia in its efforts to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity. In a strong show of unity, the committee reaffirmed their full solidarity with Somalia and collectively rejected any external interference or attempts to infringe upon Somalia’s sovereignty.
