The African Union envoy for Somalia pledged Thursday to work closely with the newly appointed Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire to stabilize the Horn of Africa nation.

“I reaffirmed AMISOM’s commitment to working closely with the new government as it embarks on the task of making Somalia a stable country with the capacity to provide for its people,” said the Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union Commission for Somalia, Francisco Madeira.

Madeira has congratulated Kheyre on his confirmation as the Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia.

“I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Hassan Ali Kheyre as he takes up his new role as Prime Minister of the Federal Republic of Somalia,”

Madeira said AU has  full confidence in the new Prime Minister’s ability to deliver for the people of Somalia.

“His vast experience in humanitarian work and business will be a key asset for the new government,” said Madeira.

Madeira commended the members of the Federal Parliament of Somalia for demonstrating their confidence in Kheyre and thereby ensuring a speedy confirmation process.
