I was pleased to meet with President @Abdirahmanirro of Somaliland here at Davos. I welcome the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two nations and look forward to deepening our bilateral cooperation for the benefit of both our peoples.
Dr Essa Kayd, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of #Somaliland, delivers a heartfelt message emphasizing Somaliland's rich history, its struggle for independence, and the ongoing quest for international re-recognition.
He highlights Somaliland's unique values, resilience, and calls on the global community and worldwide to support its sovereignty and stability in the Horn of Africa.
The story of Somaliland is not a recent one. @DrEssaKayd reminds global that the nation's journey began long before its independence over 66 years ago. Even before becoming a British protectorate, Somaliland governed itself through the rule of law, emphasizing justice, accountability, and communal responsibility. The people protected their land, resolved conflicts, and engaged in trade with nations worldwide.
It's a great privilege to conduct the first official diplomatic visit to Somaliland, at the invitation of President @Abdirahmanirro.
The visit is also a message: We are determined to vigorously advance relations between Israel and Somaliland.
Today, we held substantive discussions with the President and senior members of his government on the full range of our relations.
The mutual recognition and establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries are not directed against anyone. Our shared objective is to promote the mutual benefit of both nations and countries.
In Hargeisa, I made it clear:
Only Israel will decide whom it recognizes and with whom it maintains diplomatic relations.
The President of Somaliland informed me that he has accepted @IsraeliPM Netanyahu’s invitation and will pay an official visit to Israel.
Today, at the Presidential Palace, I received
@gidonsaar H.E. Mr. Gideon Sa’ar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel, and a high-level delegation on an official visit to the Republic of Somaliland, the first such visit by a foreign minister in 34 years after recognition. I conveyed my deep appreciation to the Government of Israel for its historic and courageous decision of 26 December 2025 to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland. This milestone reflects a relationship founded on mutual respect and shared interests, aimed at cooperation and stability without prejudice to any party.
I emphasized that this recognition opens a new chapter of formal diplomatic relations, security, economic, and development cooperation, serving the mutual interests of both nations and contributing positively to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.
I also reaffirmed that Somaliland is a reliable and responsible partner, strategically positioned and committed to advancing regional and international peace, security, and constructive engagement.
Congratulations to the newly elected president of Somaliland H.E. @Abdirahmanirro
