The government of Somalia has signed an agreement with the United States worth 68.5 million dollars, which will strengthen the socio-economic development in the long term.
This agreement was signed in Mogadishu by the Minister of Planning, Investment, and Economic Development of Somalia, Mohamud Abdirahman Sheikh Farah (Beene-Beene), the Minister of Finance, Bihi Iman Cige, and the head of USAID in Somalia, Ms. Catie Lott.
