The following points were deliberated.

- Somalia has violated the sovereignty of Somaliland territorial borders. A minister of the Somalia federation visited Somaliland borders this caused a conflict that resulted in loss of lives. Recent the Puntland president Mr. Abdiweli Gaas entered Somaliland through the border town of Badhan without permission from the Somaliland government.
- The government of Somaliland has accepted the mediation of IGAD, AU and UN special representative to Somalia and Somaliland. It was agreed that the Somalia and Somaliland exchange the prisoners of war and cessation of hostilities however the Farmajo regime is constantly manipulating the Puntland administration to kindle the fire of war with Somaliland. The tour of Mr.Abdiweli Gaas to Badhan will not help matters since Somaliland will not sit idle while her independence and sovereignty is violated by Puntland.
