Bismillahi Rahmani Rahiim;
I have arrived in Israel as the first President of the Republic of Somaliland to undertake a State Visit, and I am honoured by the warm welcome extended by my friend, President @Isaac_Herzog
For thirty-five years, the people of Somaliland have built a peaceful, democratic, and resilient nation. We asked the world: Do you see us? Israel answered first. Today marks a historic milestone in our journey and the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between Somaliland and Israel.
To the people of Somaliland: I carry your hopes and aspirations with me. Generations have struggled, sacrificed, and persevered to bring our nation to this moment. We will seize this opportunity with confidence, wisdom, and determination, always guided by the interests of our people and our Republic.
Today, history is being written, and Somaliland stands ready to forge a shared future founded on friendship, cooperation, and mutual respect.

SOMALILAND: RECOGNITION AND RESILIENCE
On the 35th Anniversary of 18 May, 2026 our national theme โRECOGNITION and RESILIENCEโ captures the very essence of Somalilandโs journey towards independence and statehood.
#RECOGNITION is not merely sought; it is earned through the unwavering #RESILIENCE, unity, progress and determination of our people. For over three decades, The Republic of Somaliland has stood as a testament to peace, democratic governance, and self-reliance in a complex and volatile region.
This year's theme is a message to the world: Somalilandโs quest for recognition is grounded in legitimacy, built by its people, and sustained by their enduring strength. Our resilience is our foundation and our future.

๐จ Welcome to the Republic of Somaliland, a peaceful, and wonderful democratic country.
Meanwhile the Republic of #Somaliland has a long coastline of 850 kilometres along the Gulf of Aden, near the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

President Irroโs delegation returned to #Hargeisa today without the President. Meanwhile, President Irro remains in the #UAE, accompanied only by his Chief of Staff. No further information has been released regarding when the President will return or whether he will proceed with additional state visits.
The President of the Republic of Somalilandโs second time participation in the Annual World Governments Summit in Dubai-2026, carries significant diplomatic value for Somaliland. It provides the Republic of Somaliland with an important platform to project its voice, articulate its vision, and share its peace and state-building experience and democratic governance a global stage.
This engagement further strengthens Somalilandโs diplomatic outreach, international standing, and the steadily growing credibility it commands across global forums.
Such progress is beyond the reach of those driven by hostility and resentment toward the existence of the Republic of Somaliland. THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT; except observing with evident frustration and envy, as Somaliland continues to assert its presence and relevance in the international arena.
Long Live The Republic of Somaliland
Somalilandโs global push for recognition is only just beginning. Behind the scenes, the Somaliland government is working tirelessly to attract investment, strengthen diplomatic ties, and position Somaliland as an open, stable, and investable partner. The message is clear.
The President of the Republic of Somaliland @Abdirahmanirro attended the World Governments Summit following an official invitation from the Government of the United Arab Emirates. This participation is a clear testament to the Presidentโs pragmatic and forward-looking diplomacy, aimed at advancing Somalilandโs legitimate quest for international recognition and engaging directly with global leaders at the highest level.
Despite distractions and criticism, Somaliland remains steadfast in its progress, focused on moving forward with purpose, confidence, and resolve.
I had the honour of sharing an official dinner in Dubai with HRH Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, brother of HM King Charles III, and Sir Gavin Williamson MP, a close friend of the Republic of Somaliland.
Our engagement reaffirmed the historic ties, mutual respect, and strong cooperation between the Republic of Somaliland and the United Kingdom, as well as our shared commitment to peace, security, development, and international partnership.
The Republic of Somaliland remains steadfast in its commitment to diplomacy grounded in constructive dialogue, peaceful coexistence, democracy, and enhanced global cooperation.
