As a Veteran of supporting the Independence and the figt for international Recognition of Republic of Somaliland, I value the pragmatic approach towards Taiwan and the readiness of your chinese partner to support your statehood and development of your country!
The decision of establishing full diplomatic relations with Israel is very wise and I remember well my discussions with my friend, late President Egal,and his intention to initiate the contacts to the jewish State.
Also the close cooperation with Ethiopia and establishing a strategic partnership with USA.The Focus must be maintained on searching for possibilities of strenghtening existing economic ties with the European Union, unisono and bilateraly with the member states, plus UK as the former colonial power…
