Press Statement: Ministry of Foreign Affairs

DUBAI (Somalilandsun) - The Republic of Somaliland's Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Dr. Mohamed Abdillahi Omar, accompanied by the Minister of Presidency, Mr. Hersi Ali Hagi Hassan, arrived in Dubai yesterday

evening as part of a diplomatic visit meant to deepen Somaliland's long-standing economic and security partnership with the United Arab Emirates.

While in Dubai, Foreign Minister Omar will meet with representatives from the government and private sector, including State Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Anwar Mohammed Gargash, and intermediaries from the maritime terminal operating and developing company DP World.

The UAE and Somaliland have developed close cooperation in the areas of trade, investment, the fight against piracy and regional affairs. In June 2012, the UAE government showed its commitment to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa by bringing together the presidents of Somaliland and Somalia to ratify a framework for bilateral dialogue meant to clarify future relations between the two countries.

There is no doubt that developing good bilateral relations between Somaliland and the UAE is a positive step forward
in the right direction between the two
Arab League and OIC countries. In particular the UAE maritime DP World
would be ideal to take charge of the
Berbera sea Port in similar capacity like Djibouti. Another important issue
is to explore if the UAE could invest
in the Road corridor between Berbera Port
and Ethiopia? Somaliland is expected to
become a hub in the Horn-East African
countries and beyond.Somaliland and UAE could develop better coperations in
many fields of economical interests to
the benefit of both countries.
The possibility of liaison diplomatic channels should be envisaged in the talks
between the two countries including the recognition of the Somaliland Passport.
The same also goes for all the AL/OIC countries as well as the global world.
Cheers.

We welcome the increasingly improving relationship with the UAE and with the rest of the Arab World. Their investment is appreciated indeed.
