Somalilands President Dahir Rayaale Kahin reshuffled some of his ministerial posts earlier this month, including the position of Foreign Minister. The new Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdillahi Mohamed Duale, formerly served as Somalilands Minister of Information. Prior to this Mr. Duale had held other ministerial posts during the late Mohamed Ibrahim Egals Presidency.

UNPO has issued a statement of congratulation to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs upon the recent appointment of Mr. Duale, and also taken the opportunity to express appreciation for the work of outgoing Foreign Minister Mrs. Edna Adan Ismail.

Somaliland has been a Member of UNPO since 2004.
