Following is an statement made by  Ms. Annika Söder; State Secretary to the Minister for International Development Cooperation, Carin Jämtin on Somali parliament.   

It is a significant step in the Somali peace and reconciliation process that President Yusuf and Speaker of Parliament Sharif Hassan Sheikh Aden have now reached agreement that parliament will convene in Somalia on 26 February. The fragile Somali peace and reconciliation process has previously been blocked by different views within the transitional government and parliament as to where in Somalia work should begin. It is important, therefore, that the international community welcomes and supports the progress that a parliamentary meeting represents.
