Somalia Hosts First Meeting of HoAI Trade Ministers
The inaugural meeting of the Horn of Africa (HoAI) Trade Ministers was chaired by Somalia's Federal Government, with Trade and Industry Minister Ambassador Jamaal Maxamed Xasan presiding over the session. Representatives from Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, and South Sudan attended the gathering, marking a significant diplomatic milestone for regional economic cooperation.
During the meeting, ministers adopted the Regional Trade Facilitation Plan for 2026–2031, a strategic framework outlining a 45-day operational roadmap for the newly formed committee. The plan sets clear timelines and responsibilities to guide the RTFC's initial activities and ensure coordinated implementation across member states.
RTFC Mandated to Reduce Border Delays and Connect National Systems
The Regional Trade Facilitation Committee for the Horn of Africa (RTFC) will link directly with national trade facilitation committees in each member state, creating a unified system to address bottlenecks at borders and streamline the movement of goods across the region. Its primary mandate includes reducing the time and cost associated with cross-border trade, which has long hindered economic growth in the Horn of Africa.
Ambassador Jamaal Maxamed Xasan emphasized that the success of the agreement will be measured by tangible results felt by traders and the people of the region. He stated, 'Waxaan maanta yeellannay jihada mideysan, hannaan hirgelineed iyo jadwal cad. Waxa hadda la inaga sugayaa waa in ballanqaadkan siyaasadeed aan u beddelno natiijooyin ay arki karaan ganacsatada iyo shacabka gobolka,' underscoring the commitment to deliver practical outcomes.

Member states are expected to appoint their representatives to the new committee by September 30, 2026, ensuring timely formation and operational readiness. The establishment of the RTFC is widely seen as a critical step to accelerate trade in the Horn of Africa, open new business and investment opportunities, and foster deeper economic integration among the region's nations.
The committee's formation signals a renewed focus on regional economic cooperation, with stakeholders anticipating that reduced border delays and improved trade facilitation will unlock significant growth potential for businesses and communities across the Horn of Africa.
