ALGIERS, Algeria — Somalia’s Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Hassan Macallin Mahmoud, arrived in the Algerian capital on Wednesday to attend a conference of Arab justice ministers.
The minister was accompanied by Somali Custodial Corps Commander Maj. Gen. Mohamed Sheikh Hassan Hamud, as part of a delegation representing the Federal Government of Somalia.
The conference, being held in Algiers, brings together justice ministers and senior officials from Arab countries to discuss cooperation in the judicial and legal sectors, as well as ways to strengthen justice systems across member states.
Discussions are expected to focus on judicial cooperation, the development of legal frameworks and improving coordination between justice institutions in participating countries.
The Somali delegation was received at Algiers international airport by Somalia’s ambassador to Algeria, Yusuf Ahmed Hassan, widely known as Yusuf Jeego, alongside Algeria’s Director General of Prisons, Zerab Said, and senior officials from the Algerian Ministry of Justice.
Somalia’s participation comes as the government continues efforts to strengthen its justice institutions, improve the administration of justice and develop its constitutional and legal frameworks.
The conference provides an opportunity for Somali officials to engage with their counterparts from across the Arab world on shared legal and judicial challenges and explore avenues for closer institutional cooperation.
