Prime Minister Hassan Ali Kheyre, regional state presidents and other officials welcomed the president’s delegation.
He is in town to hold talks with regional state leaders on the 2020/21 election and other disputed matters, in the first face to face between leaders of the central government and those of the regional states in the country.
His trip follows a recent conference of the regional leaders held in Galmudug State, which was organised after a planned gathering in Mogadishu on 5 July failed.
The leaders converging in the central town are expected to attempt to resolve the impasse over the 2020/21 elections and the political dispute between President Farmajo and the leaders of Puntland and Jubbaland.
