By LM-Mogadishu, 8 January 2024- In a gesture of appreciation and recognition, the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia Prof. Hassan Sheik Mohamud hosted an exclusive dinner event to honor the Members of Parliament (MPs) for their service and dedication to the nation. The event that took place in Villa Somalia provided an opportunity for the President to express gratitude to the MPs and acknowledge their significant and historic role contributions in protecting the unity and independence of the Somali nation.
The dinner event was a prestigious affair, bringing together the President and esteemed parliamentarians from across both houses. It aims to foster an environment of camaraderie and collaboration, transcending political differences and highlighting the shared commitment to the national interest.
Throughout their tenure, MPs play a vital role in shaping legislation, representing their constituents, and engaging in robust debates on matters of national importance. The President recognizes the importance of their work and the dedication required to serve the people effectively. The dinner event aims to celebrate their efforts and express gratitude for their unwavering commitment to public service.
During the event, the President delivered a speech highlighting the general situation in the country, the war against terrorism, and the government’s plan to prevent the violation of the Ethiopian against Somalia’s sovereignty as it signed a ‘null and avoid’ MoU with the Somaliland Administration.
The dinner event also provided an opportunity for MPs to interact with the President and engage in meaningful conversations on key issues affecting the nation. It served as a platform for fostering dialogue and strengthening relationships between the executive and legislative branches, promoting a collaborative approach to governance.
The President’s Office has extended invitations to all MPs, regardless of political affiliation, ensuring that the event remains inclusive and representative of the diverse voices within the parliamentary landscape. The President believes in the power of unity and cooperation in advancing the nation’s interests, and this event seeks to reinforce those values.

As the nation’s highest office, the President holds a responsibility to recognize and appreciate the efforts of elected representatives who work tirelessly to address the needs and aspirations of the citizens. The dinner event served as a testament to the President’s commitment to fostering a harmonious and productive relationship with the Members of Parliament.
