Djibouti regional security and economic governance
Overview
In early September 2026, Djibouti President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh convened the 9th Council of Ministers to begin a new legislative term. During this session, the President emphasized the necessity of national vigilance regarding geopolitical uncertainties, specifically noting tensions in the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. He outlined economic strategies focused on infrastructure, public finance reform, and the diversification of sectors such as logistics, digital services, and renewable energy.
By mid-September, Djibouti hosted the 74th extraordinary session of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Council of Ministers. This regional summit involved discussions with foreign ministers regarding administrative and financial stability within IGAD, as well as broader peace and security in the Horn of Africa. The session specifically addressed the crisis in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb strait, with Djibouti providing assurances that international navigation in those waters remains normal.
