While there, he met with senior officials of the Somali transitional government, including President Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed and Prime Minister Ali Ghedi during his three-day goodwill mission to Jowhar, 90 km north of the capital, Mogadishu.

Borys Wrzesnewskyj has repeatedly stated that the Canadian government, in partnership with the Somali Canadian community - the largest African community in Canada - can play a critical role in bringing peace and restoration of civil society to this failed state.
