Today on Capitol Hill, we held substantive and constructive meetings with Senator Mike Rounds (R–SD) and Congressman Brian Mast (R–FL), Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
Our discussions focused on strengthening Somaliland–U.S. relations, enhancing maritime security in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, promoting regional stability, and expanding opportunities for trade and investment.
We expressed our appreciation for their continued congressional engagement with Somaliland, including Senator Rounds’ role in advancing the Somaliland Partnership Act and Chairman Mast’s leadership on U.S. foreign policy legislation.
Somaliland and the United States share enduring values and important strategic interests. We remain committed to building on this foundation and advancing a deeper, lasting, and mutually beneficial partnership that contributes to peace, security, and prosperity across the region.
