The new minister of finance Dr. Elmi M. Nur held a meeting with the ambassador of the UK Kate Foster in Mogadishu on Monday morning.
"We had a discussion on the ongoing economic reform program, strengthening good governance & UK government support in Somalia's reforms & development," Nur said.
The minister said the UK is a valuable partner in Somalia's development.
The UK has a military base in Baidoa city, where it trains Somali soldiers as part of its support for the country to fight against Al-Shabaab.
The UK is one of the western countries that have embassies in Mogadishu which are helping the Federal Government of Somalia in the financial and debt relief program.
