In September, after the Central Government transferred some construction teams from the south to the Northern Province and the Mogadishu New Port finally began construction, the Northern Province Government officially invited Austrian businessmen interested in agricultural product processing to visit and inspect Mogadishu City through the Heixinggen consortium channels.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our Northern Province has Europe's closest large scale tropical crop planting area. For years, Mogadishu has been the forefront of North East Africa's fruit and vegetable export trade. I believe that with this advantage, if you choose to invest in Mogadishu City, you will certainly gain considerable returns," Clarnis said to the Austrian businessmen at the reception.
"Mr. Mayor, it seems your port has just started constructions recently. Can you guarantee the Mogadishu Port will be operational before we invest?"
