Mogadishu (SONNA): The Government of India has strongly opposed what it described as Israel’s “illegal” decision to recognize the Somaliland administration, reaffirming its support for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
Speaking at a press briefing, Indian Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal outlined New Delhi’s position, emphasizing the longstanding historical ties between India and Somalia.
“We reiterate the importance of respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia,” Jaiswal said.
India’s statement underscores its continued support for Somalia’s unity and its opposition to any actions that could undermine the country’s internationally recognized borders.
