MOGADISHU, Somalia – A high level delegation led by Somali Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire has arrived in the coastal town of Kismayo, some 500km south of Somali capital Mogadishu.
Mr. Khaire and his delegates were warmly welcomed by the President of Jubaland State, Ahmed Mohamed Islam (Ahmed Madobe) and other regional officials at the airport in Kismayo town.
Somali PM Khaire has thanked Jubaland leaders for their hospitality after his arrival on Monday.
