Information Minister:  No Economic Matters Discussed on Meetings with Gulf Officials

The Federal Minister for Information Abdirahman Yarisow has distanced the government from monetary debates taking part on the diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

Additionally he mentioned no economic issues discussed in the meetings related to the gulf crisis in the least possible way.

This information from the Minister was a response to the news written by some media houses indicating money matters were raised with the federal government for exchange for its support on either side.

Minister Yarisow cited the deep fraternal relationship between Somalia and countries in the Middle East as well as multiple interests based on cooperation and mutual work.

As written on the government media, the Minister appealed to the media houses to be vigilant of wrong information that is against the reputation and protocol of the diplomatic arena. At the same he enjoined them not to circulate baseless news that can damage the honour and status of Somalia as well as our brotherly nations.

The Federal government of Somalia chose a neutral position on the diplomatic crisis between Saudi Arabia and Qatar, a position that portrayed a similar stand with the Somali citizens.
