Since the beginning of 2024, Turkey and Somalia have intensified their relationship. The two countries have signed agreements on defense, economic cooperation, as well as oil and gas cooperation. Following the signing of a defense and economic agreement between Somalia and Turkey in February of this year, a Turkish Navy vessel, the TCG Kınalıada F514, arrived at the Port of Mogadishu last week.

Turkey has made significant investments in Somalia, particularly in education, infrastructure, health, and has provided extensive humanitarian aid.
