The presidents of Somalia and Egypt are also expected to discuss accelerating previously signed agreements, most of which focus on security cooperation, according to various sources.
The Federal Government of Somalia stated that it is prioritizing cooperation with countries that share key maritime trade routes in order to prevent any potential security threats.
