Sincere gratitude for the kind and respectful reception H.E. President @Abdirahmanirro received while in Israel.
We especially appreciate the kindness and respect shown by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and H.E. President Isaac Herzog.
Stronger friendship, collaboration, and understanding between our peoples are made possible by this cordial reception, which displays respect for one another.
My presentation of credentials to the President of the State of Israel, @Isaac_Herzog, a small part of our conversation that was made public.
We also held an official, private, and highly strategic discussion focused on shared interests that was not shared with the press.
0% debt 100% love for the country , such an amazing infrastructure without any international debt just a hard working people, ( Somaliland is different ).

שמחתי לקבל הבוקר את פניו של השגריר הראשון אי פעם של סומלילנד לישראל, ד״ר מוחמד האג’י, אשר הגיש לי את כתב האמנתו.
השגריר האג’י אף התלהב מהתזמורת שלנו, שניגנה לראשונה בבית הנשיא בירושלים את ההמנון הלאומי של סומלילנד!
שותפות חדשה וחשובה זו בין מדינותינו תוביל לעתיד של שיתוף פעולה במגוון תחומים - לטובת שני עמינו והאזור כולו.
1/ Congratulations #Somaliland ! As a visitor to Hargeisa in 2013, I saw a vibrant democracy with a powerful female merchant class. Israel’s recognition is a long-overdue validation of Somaliland’s inclusive and democratic peace. #SomalilandRecognition
I agree with the African Union's findings: the unratified and failing union makes Somaliland's gives for recognition historically unique and completely justifiable. Recognition is about fairness and facts.
For anyone who forgot, this is what the African Union itself determined regarding Somaliland:
“The fact that the union between Somaliland and Somalia was never ratified and also malfunctioned when it went into action from 1960 to 1990, makes Somaliland's search for recognition historically unique and self-justified in African political history.”
I would like to convey my heartfelt appreciation to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his historic decision to recognise the #Republic of #Somaliland. This brave step means a lot to our people after more than three decades of waiting.
I announced today the official recognition of the Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.
Together with Foreign Minister Sa'ar and the President of the Republic of Somaliland, we signed a joint and mutual declaration.
This declaration is in the spirit of the Abraham Accords, signed at the initiative of President Trump.
I congratulated the President of Somaliland, Dr. Abdirahman Mohamed Abdallah, and praised his leadership and commitment to promoting stability and peace. I invited the President to pay an official visit to Israel.
The President thanked me for this historic declaration and expressed appreciation for my achievements in fighting terrorism and advancing regional peace.
I thank Foreign Minister Sa’ar, the Head of Mossad David Barnea and the Mossad, for their contribution to today’s development, and I wish the people of Somaliland success, prosperity, and freedom.
The State of Israel plans to immediately expand its relations with the Republic of Somaliland through extensive cooperation in the fields of agriculture, health, technology, and economy.
Congratulations to the amazing people of #Somaliland. This acknowledgement is the culmination of decades of struggle, democracy, perseverance, peacebuilding, and dedication.Your perseverance and dedication have finally yielded results. This is a proud time for the country.
We congratulate and thank the Prime Minister of #Israel for his daring and historic decision to recognise the #Republic of #Somaliland. After more than three decades of waiting, this action demonstrates fairness, principle, and respect for the Somaliland people's will.
