Strengthening Cooperation Between Egypt and Somalia in the Fields of Education and Da'wah
The Somali Ambassador to Cairo emphasized the strength of the historical relations between his country and Egypt, pointing to the pivotal role played by Al-Azhar Al-Sharif in strengthening these ties.
The Somali Ambassador stated in an official statement that Al-Azhar holds a high status and great appreciation among the Somali people, as Somalis consider it a beacon of knowledge and moderation in the Islamic world.
The Ambassador added that many generations of Somali scholars and intellectuals received their education at Al-Azhar Al-Sharif, which has contributed to building strong bridges of cultural and religious communication between the two countries over the years.
These statements come within the framework of both sides' keenness to continue fruitful cooperation, especially in the fields of Islamic Da'wah and the dissemination of the values of tolerance, which reflects the depth of the strategic partnership between Egypt and sisterly African countries.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the importance of continuing these joint efforts to serve mutual interests and support educational and religious institutions in Somalia with the expertise of Al-Azhar Al-Sharif was emphasized.
