ADDIS ABABA (HORN OBSERVER) - Leaders of Somalia and Ethiopia Mohamed Abdullahi Farmaajo and Abiy Ahmed respectively have discussed the bilateral relations between the two countries barely a day after Farmaajo attended the swearing in ceremony of Abiy in Addis Ababa town.

Farmaajo and his delegation arrived on Monday in Addis Ababa town to attend the inauguration ceremony of Abiy who was sworn in on Monday for second term.

In a statement, Villa Somalia said the leaders discussed security, economic growth as well as the cooperation between the countries.

"H.E M_Farmaajo holds talks with Abiy Ahmed Ali. The leadership agreed on enhancing bilateral cooperation towards regional security, economic growth & development for mutual prosperity. President Farmaajo wished PM Abiy success while assuring him support as he enters the new term,” the statement reads in part.

Abiy, a 45-year-old Nobel laureate, took the oath of office during the joint session of the House of People’s Representatives and House of the Federation.

Abiy’s Prosperity Party scored a landslide win in the June 21 parliamentary and regional councils’ elections.

In 2018, both leaders agreed to intensify trade and economic relations based on an agreed comprehensive framework which covers robust diplomatic ties between the two countries.

Both leaders said they were jointly investing in four seaports to attract foreign investment to their two countries.
