Meeting the President of Somaliland during his state visit to Israel the only country so far to recognise his country. As the former colony of. British Somaliland I hope the U.K. will in due course also recognise the legitimacy of Somaliland …
Welcome to Jerusalem and welcome to the Knesset, President @Abdirahmanirro.
Marking the first official visit ever by a Somaliland president, your historic presence at the Knesset today opens a new chapter in the relations between our countries.
We look forward to expanding cooperation and building stronger ties between our peoples and nations.
This was not a symbolic meeting, it was a strategic and practical one. Somaliland and Israel are building a deep partnership based on concrete cooperation, shared interests, and real results.
Today, we officially opened the first Embassy of the Republic of Somaliland in Jerusalem.
This historic milestone reflects Somaliland’s growing international presence and the strengthening partnership between Somaliland and Israel, founded on mutual respect, cooperation, and shared interests.
A proud day for Somaliland and Somalilanders everywhere.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ...
President of the Republic of Somaliland, @Abdirahmanirro during his official state visit to Israel, held today a historic high-level meeting with Israeli Prime Minister @netanyahu a milestone that signals the dawn of a new era in diplomatic relations.
Today, a new chapter in history has been written. I extend my deepest gratitude and sincere appreciation to the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu @netanyahu the Government of Israel, and the people of Israel for becoming the first nation in thirty-five years to formally recognize the Republic of Somaliland as a sovereign and independent state, affirming its nationhood, independence, and inherent right to self-determination.
This courageous and historic decision stands as a testament to the resilience, political maturity, and unwavering aspirations of the people of Somaliland. For more than three decades, our nation has remained steadfast in its commitment to peace, democracy, stability, and the democratic expression of the will of its people. Somaliland will never forget this historic gesture of friendship, mutual respect, and principled recognition.
We firmly believe that Somaliland and Israel will build a deep and enduring partnership founded on mutual respect, security, innovation, development, and a shared commitment to advancing the prosperity and well-being of our peoples.
I am also pleased to announce that the Republic of Somaliland and the State of Israel have formally signed a Strategic Joint Declaration of Cooperation, marking a historic milestone in relations between our two nations. This landmark agreement establishes the foundation for a lasting strategic partnership and deepens cooperation in the fields of agriculture, water management, security, technology, investment, economic development, and infrastructure.
This achievement represents a defining moment in Somaliland’s national journey and a significant milestone for its people. It will leave an enduring mark on our history and usher in a new era of partnership, opportunity, and international engagement.
Somaliland has prevailed.
From Jerusalem to Washington, D.C. The next Somaliland embassy will most likely be in the United States, a powerful signal of growing international engagement and strategic partnership. #Somaliland#WashingtonDC
