Diplomatic Relations
In March 2021, the UAE became the first Arab nation to appoint a diplomat to Hargeisa, with Abdulla Al-Naqbi serving as its ambassador. This landmark move significantly strengthened bilateral ties. Somaliland, in turn, maintains a representative office in the UAE, which plays a key role in fostering diplomatic engagement and cooperation.
