Somali Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Abdisalam Abdi Ali, held talks with Saudi Foreign Minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah Al Saud, during an official visit to the Kingdom.

During the meeting, Abdul Salam thanked the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for what he described as its unwavering and principled support for Somalia, praising Riyadh’s stance in support of the country’s unity and stability.

He expressed his “deep appreciation” for the Kingdom’s solidarity with the Somali people and its continued support for Somalia’s sovereignty at the regional and international levels, according to the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Prince Faisal reaffirmed the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's full support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, emphasizing the Kingdom's long-term commitment to Somalia's security and stability. He stressed the Kingdom's rejection of any actions that would undermine these principles.

The talks also addressed ways to strengthen bilateral relations in various sectors, including political and development cooperation, as well as discussing regional developments and issues of common interest.

This meeting comes at a time when Somalia is seeking to rally international support for its territorial integrity following Israel’s controversial decision to recognize Somaliland, a move that Somalia has strongly rejected
