He commended Somali Regional State administration, led by Mustafa Omer, saying the ongoing transformation and reconstruction benefit communities across the Horn of Africa.

He described the projects as showcasing knowledge, ideas, and thoughtful planning that bring together tourism, culture, and the everyday life of local communities.

“This is not just about livestock and buildings; it is an idea and a vision that reflects the way of life of the people and their environment,” President Mohamud said, noting that the projects prominently feature Somali huts, camel herding traditions, milk production, and nomadic life—transformed into opportunities for tourism and economic growth.

Speaking on trade and investment, the President expressed satisfaction with the active participation of Somali youth from the region and diaspora.

“Economics has no clan. Wherever Somalis live, when it comes to business and development, they work together and live together,” he said.
