President Mohamud in Italy to participate in FAO event

Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud has arrived in Roma, Italy to attend the UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment event to be held at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) headquarters in Rome from 24 to 26 July.

The high-level event seeks to drive countries on the path towards sustainable and resilient agrifood systems, aimed at improving livelihoods, providing food security and nutrition for all, generating decent jobs and helping the rural poor and those who rely on agriculture, pastoralism and fisheries to adapt to contemporary challenges.

Mohamud will also take part in other regional conferences in Rome on the sidelines of the event, including a trilateral meeting between the leaders of Somalia, Ethiopia, and Italy.

The three leaders met in Addis Ababa in mid-April and discussed issues of mutual interest between them including further enhancing existing partnerships.
