Heads of Mission of the European Union in Somalia on Wednesday
welcomed the endorsement by the Federal Parliament of Omar Abdirashid
Ali Sharmarke as Prime Minister.
The EU called for the
formation of an inclusive, representative and broad-based Cabinet that
should earn the confidence of the Somali people and its partners by
delivering against the priorities set out in Vision 2016.
"In
the past two years, progress has been made, but with only 20 months
left before elections in 2016, the tasks ahead are formidable and will
require delivery of results from a committed and accountable leadership.
We encourage all the political stakeholders to stand together to keep
progress on track," said a statement from the mission.
The
heads of mission also said this would offer a credible framework for
the EU and other international partners to continue supporting Somalia's
recovery and development.
"The EU looks forward to cooperating with the new Government in a spirit of true partnership," read the statement.
