BREAKING Now it’s official by Israeli foreign ministry: Foreign Minister Gideon Saar today (Tuesday) paid his first official diplomatic visit to Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland, at the invitation of the President of Somaliland. The visit was conducted discreetly according to the instructions of security officials and can now be officially announced. As stated, the visit was conducted at the invitation of Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, and during which Foreign Minister Saar held meetings with President Abdirahman and senior government officials, including Foreign Minister Abdirahman Dahir Adam, Minister of the Presidency Khader Hussein Abdi, and Chief of Staff Nimsan Yusuf Osman. Minister Saar held the meetings at the official presidential palace in Hargeisa. The meetings were also attended by Parliament Speaker Yassin Haji Mohamed and Senate Speaker Sullivan Mahmoud Aden. Saar was greeted at the airport by Somaliland's Foreign Minister. Somaliland President and Foreign Minister Saar issued statements. From Foreign Minister Gideon Saar: "On December 26, Israel and Somaliland signed a historic agreement for mutual recognition and the establishment of full diplomatic relations. We agreed to mutually appoint ambassadors and open embassies and will do so soon. We agreed to work together to advance relations between the countries, for the prosperity of both. We want to build a warm friendship not only between governments - but also between peoples: the Israeli people and the people of Somaliland. Since December 26, we have seen authentic joy in Somaliland, and also in Israel. We are excited to take part in the courageous journey of the people of Somaliland from independence to recognition. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is working under my guidance to build relations in many areas: economy, water, agriculture and more. We will cooperate on security issues and open a strategic partnership between us. Unlike "Palestine" - Somaliland is not a virtual state. Somaliland is a functioning state in every way, according to the principles of international law. Somaliland has been and remains a stable democracy for nearly 35 years. It has democratic elections and an orderly change of government. It is pro-Western and friendly to Israel. It is a certificate of honor for us to be the first UN member state to recognize Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. We hear the attacks, criticism and condemnations of Israel. No one will determine for Israel who to recognize and with whom to maintain diplomatic relations. We recognize the simple truth and the existing reality and hope to see more countries do the same soon. Somaliland deserves, and rightly so, a place among the nations. This is a natural connection between two democratic states, both located in challenging regions. In our meeting, I reiterated the invitation to Prime Minister Netanyahu to pay an official visit to Israel. We hope to host you in Jerusalem very soon. We are hopeful that these historic days and moments will mark the beginning of a deep friendship between the peoples for many years to come.” *Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi has announced a visit to Israel soon and the opening of an embassy in the country.* Photo credit: Stills: Shlomi Amsalem, LPO
