JEDDAH, 31 October — The Somali Embassy in Riyadh said yesterday that it alone has the authority to discuss matters related to the country’s reconstruction in the Kingdom. Commenting on a report in Arab News on Sunday about a meeting in Jeddah in which three companies — two Saudi and one Somali — discussed a Somalia reconstruction project, the embassy said the "information was released by a non-government person and had no basis whatsoever."
