Turkish Business Delegation Evaluates Proposed Somalia Projects
A Turkish business delegation arrived in Mogadishu to evaluate the cost of proposed projects in Mogadishu, the Somalia capital, following a visit by Prime Minister Recep Erdogan to the city last month.
The group of about 200 people includes engineers, doctors and businessmen, Saed Qorshel, the minister of state for transport, told reporters.
Erdogan in August proposed projects including the construction of a road that links Mogadishu’s main airport to the presidential palace, as well as building hospitals and schools.
Mogadishu’s infrastructure has been shattered by a two- decade-long civil war that began when the dictatorship of Mohamed Siad Barre was ousted in 1991, the last time the country had a functioning central administration.
