◾️索馬利蘭位於非洲之角，人口約有390萬人，漁業資源豐富，是國際重要漁場，並擁有豐富的石油、天然氣等礦藏資源。
◾️索馬利蘭自1991年宣布獨立以來，已經進行3次總統大選，政治情勢穩定，民主持續深化，與我同為 #民主自由 的 #理念相近國家。
◾️我國自2009年起，與索馬利蘭逐步建立良好的互動關係，雙方在提升海事安全、醫衛及教育等領域進行合作，截至目前為止，我國曾透過 #國合會 友好國家醫事人員訓練計畫代訓23位索馬利蘭醫事人員，目前也有3名索國年輕學生透過 #台灣獎學金 的機制在台攻讀學位。
We're pleased to announce that Taiwan will set up a representative office in the Republic of #Somaliland, which itself will set up a representative office in #Taiwan. This move is aimed at strengthening our cooperative relationship with African nations, particularly in #EastAfrica. The country's foreign minister, H.E. Yasin Hagi Mohamoud, signed a bilateral protocol to this effect while he was leading a delegation to Taiwan in February of this year. The two countries will launch cooperative initiatives on fisheries, agriculture, energy, mining, public health, education and ICT.
Due to the #COVID19 pandemic, arrangements for the establishment of the representative offices are still underway!

Somaliland is located in the Horn of Africa and has a population of around 3.9 million. The country's economy is based mainly on livestock and agriculture. Somaliland declared independence in 1991 and has held three presidential elections since then, strengthening its democratic institutions. We have gradually built up friendly relations with the country since 2009, with increasing cooperation on maritime security, medicine and public health and education. TaiwanICDF財團法人國際合作發展基金會 previously trained 23 medical personnel from the country under a cooperative initiative. Currently three young students from the country are studying in Taiwan with scholarships.
