Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met his Somali counterpart, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, on the sidelines of the COP31 Leaders’ Summit in Antalya. He affirmed Türkiye’s determination to develop cooperation with Somalia in several fields, especially defense and energy, stressing that Somalia’s security and stability are highly important to Türkiye.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud on the sidelines of the 31st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP31), held in the Turkish city of Antalya. The Turkish Presidency’s Communications Directorate said the meeting addressed bilateral relations between Türkiye and Somalia, as well as regional issues.
During the meeting, Erdoğan affirmed that Türkiye is determined to develop cooperation with Somalia in several fields, especially defense and energy, and will continue taking steps to give momentum to relations between the two countries.
The Turkish president stressed that Somalia’s security and stability are highly important to Türkiye, expressing his wishes for the success of the national dialogue process and the achievement of national unity and social peace in the country.
The two countries maintain close relations. Mogadishu has hosted Türkiye’s largest military base abroad since 2017, and the two countries signed a framework agreement on defense and economic cooperation in 2024. Türkiye’s Oruç Reis research vessel also conducted seismic surveys for oil and gas exploration off the Somali coast. Türkiye’s Defense Ministry on Thursday denied claims that Türkiye would send 15,000 soldiers to Somalia.
