Official: Turkey to Protect Somalia’s Territorial Waters for Ten Years
Somalia’s cabinet has backed a 10-year defense pact between Somalia and Turkey to safeguard the former’s sovereignty, and the Somali Federal Parliament ratified the agreement, Somali Minister of Information, Culture and Tourism Daud Aweis said on Wednesday.
Somali media reported earlier that Somalia’s government ratified a maritime security pact with Turkey, which gave Ankara “comprehensive authority” to protect and defend Somalia’s territorial waters.
Under the treaty, Turkey will receive 30% of profits from activities in Somalia’s exclusive economic zone, known for its rich biological resources. The pact attaches great importance to combating poaching in Somali waters, for which Turkey will build and equip ships.
