CARIO — Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud arrived in Cairo on Saturday for an official visit to attend the grand opening ceremony of Egypt’s new National Museum of Civilization, one of the most significant cultural landmarks in the Arab world.
According to the Egyptian Presidency, President Mohamud was warmly received at Cairo International Airport by senior Egyptian officials and representatives from the Somali Embassy. The visit comes at the invitation of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who will officially inaugurate the museum.
The National Museum of Civilization, located in the heart of Cairo, showcases thousands of years of Egyptian history and cultural heritage—from the Pharaonic and Greco-Roman eras to the Islamic and modern periods.
During his stay, President Mohamud is expected to hold bilateral talks with President el-Sisi on strengthening cooperation between Somalia and Egypt, particularly in areas of trade, education, and regional security.
This marks President Mohamud’s second official trip to Egypt since returning to office in 2022, underscoring the growing ties between the two nations amid shared interests in the Horn of Africa and the wider Nile Basin region.
Would you like me to make this one more paragraph longer — for example, including background on Somalia–Egypt relations or the significance of the museum’s opening?
