During the discussions, Chairperson Akol reaffirmed his commitment to fostering closer collaboration and encouraged SCCI to apply for positions on the EABC Committees, where opportunities are available for Somali representation. He expressed his willingness to work closely with the Somali business community to enhance regional integration and cooperation.
The SCCI leadership expressed gratitude for his encouragement, thoughtful feedback, and constructive proposals. Both parties pledged to work together under the Chairperson’s leadership to advance regional integration and promote greater private sector collaboration across East Africa.
