It was an honor to engage key stakeholders and leaders on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. My remarks highlighted Somaliland's distinctive historical journey, our right to self-determination, and the transformative promise of Israel's recent recognition for bilateral ties and regional harmony. I noted that recognizing us strengthens global stability and rewards merit. I concluded with a call to forge win-win partnerships in Red Sea security, trade, technology innovation, and joint efforts against extremism.
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.
Last night in Davos, on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum, i met with the President of the State of Israel, @Isaac_Herzog at a high-level dinner. Our discussions focused on strengthening and advancing bilateral relations between the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel.
I also met @EricTrump , an influential global figure and son of the President of the United States, as well as other senior global political figures and international leaders.
To my fellow citizens of the Republic of Somaliland, home & abroad, I extend my sincere greetings and appreciation, and convey my best wishes for enduring peace, stability, and prosperity.
To our friends in Somaliland ๐ธ๐ด๐ค๐ฎ๐ฑ
We know itโs been a while. Weโve been busy, but we havenโt forgotten you. We value the attention and momentum we helped build around IsraelโSomaliland ties, especially during the recognition efforts, and weโre excited to deepen that relationship moving forward.

Today, at the Presidential Palace, I received
@gidonsaar H.E. Mr. Gideon Saโar, 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.
๐ฎ๐ฑ ISRAEL OPENS A NEW FRONT OF DIPLOMACY
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saโar has arrived in Somaliland for an official visit following Israelโs recognition of the territory last month.
This marks the first visit by a senior Israeli official and signals a strategic expansion of ๐ฎ๐ฑ Israelโs footprint in the Horn of Africa, with growing focus on regional stability, maritime security, and new alliances near the Red Sea.

When the Somali regime, led by Siad Barre, committed a massacre against the people of Somaliland, the world was silent. But Israel was not silent.
In 1990, Israelโs then-ambassador to the UN, Yohanan Bein, sent a letter to the UN Security Council warning about the massacre committed by Somalia in the city of Hargeisa. Even when it was inconvenient and diplomatically costly, Israel chose what was right.
That is what moral leadership looks like.
BREAKING: The United States of America has strongly supported Israel's recent recognition and eatablishment of diplomatic relations with the Republic of Somaliland.
This means alot for the State of Israel and the Republic of Somaliland.
Thank you, America.
