He emphasized China’s commitment to assisting Somalia in achieving stability and development.

Fiqi highlighted the profound foundation of the friendship between Somalia and China. He thanked China for supporting Somalia on the international stage, especially in upholding justice for his country. Fiqi reiterated Somalia’s firm adherence to the one-China principle and opposition to any actions that undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
