According to Jubaland State TV, discussions centred on the ongoing parliamentary and presidential elections in Jubaland, the broader political landscape, and the latest outcomes of the National Consultative Council (NCC) meetings.
The meeting included ambassadors from the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, Germany, and the European Union, as well as representatives from the United Nations (Acting SRSG), IGAD, and ATMIS.
