A high-level workshop held at Nairobi’s Jamia Mosque focused on Somalia’s plans to increase its participation in the global halal economy. The forum hosted diplomats, scholars, and businesspeople and focused on forging cross-border relationships in halal certification, food exports, and Islamic financing.
