DP World Foundation praises Somaliland’s leadership amid high-level talks on trade, security, and humanitarian aid.
Somaliland’s diplomatic momentum surged as President Abdirahman Irro engaged in high-level discussions with UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The meetings, held during the World Government Summit, emphasized Somaliland’s strategic importance in regional trade and security.
DP World Foundation, a key player in Somaliland’s development, hailed its meeting with Irro. Director General Latifa Al Qamzi highlighted growing collaboration in emergency relief and humanitarian aid, reinforcing the UAE’s commitment to Somaliland’s economic and infrastructural growth.
The UAE has already positioned itself as Somaliland’s primary investor, particularly through its multi-million-dollar development of Berbera Port. With discussions expanding into logistics, maritime security, and commerce, Somaliland’s geopolitical significance continues to rise. As Irro pushes for international recognition, Somaliland’s deepening ties with the UAE bolster its legitimacy as a stable and influential actor in the Horn of Africa.
