Ambassador Awale Kilane also expressed outrage at Taiwan’s move to open an office in Somaliland.

“We condemn Taiwan’s treatment of Somaliland, and we will always uphold the sovereignty of Somalia and the territorial integrity of Somalia whether it is Taiwan or anyone else in northern Somalia, and instability in the region through the establishment of diplomatic ties with a breakaway region, “said Somalia’s ambassador to China.
