Somaliland’s first ambassador in a foreign country will present his diplomatic credentials to President Isaac Herzog tomorrow, according to the President’s Residence.
Mohamed Hagi, appointed in February, has been serving as adviser to Somaliland President Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi, and was an architect of Israel-Somaliland relations.
In December, Israel became the only country in the world to recognize Somaliland’s independence — something the territory has been seeking since declaring its autonomy from Somalia in 1991.
The new ambassadors of the Vatican, Australia, Korea, and Vietnam will also present their credentials tomorrow.
