Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed received President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed of Somalia on Sunday 2 June and held discussions at the office of the Prime Minister.
In their discussions, they raised bilateral issues of mutual interest, including further strengthening cooperation in regional peace and security.
Relations between the two countries have further strengthened in recent months, with visits by both leaders to their respective capitals. Somali President last visited Addis Ababa a few months back, following which he flew with PM Abiy to Nairobi to mediate on a diplomatic spat between Kenya and Somalia.
He also went to Ethiopia for a tripartite meeting between the two countries and neighboring Eritrea.
The two leaders, accompanied by the First Lady of Somalia, planted seedlings within the compound.
Prime Minister Abiy launched last week a campaign to plant four billion trees across Ethiopia. He kicked off the initiative in Adama, Oromia region and has since joined visitors to plant seedlings.
