For his part, Maj. Gen. Al-Moghedi, pointed out that the strategic location of the Federal Government of Somalia in eastern Africa and its proximity to Bab Al-Mandab strait plays a major role in countering terrorism in general, and in particular with regard to maritime piracy conducted by extremist terrorist groups. Such terrorist organizations seek to disrupt international maritime navigation and pose a real threat to regional, global security and the freedom of international maritime trade. 

He further added that IMCTC looks forward to receiving the Delegates of the Federal Republic of Somalia to work alongside with the rest of their fellow Delegates from IMCTC Member Countries to exchange experiences across counter-terrorism domains.
