Turkiye thinks Somalia and Ethiopia's agreed-upon joint declaration will lay the groundwork for future collaboration and development based on mutual respect.

Somali President Mohamud praised Turkiye's efforts to resolve the ongoing territorial and political conflict, saying his country has always been and will always be "a true friend of Ethiopia."

Ethiopian Prime Minister Ahmed also praised Turkiye's efforts, describing the Ankara-brokered peace negotiations as a "family dialogue" that resulted in a "win-win" settlement for both his nation and neighboring Somalia.

According to the Ankara Declaration, both parties agreed to begin technical discussions by the end of February 2025, with Turkiye facilitating them, and to finish them within four months.

Both parties also emphasized their support for Somalia's territorial integrity, while acknowledging Ethiopia's potential benefits from secure maritime access.
