Somalia Secures Seat on UN Security Council, Marking Diplomatic Milestone

Mogadishu, Somalia – In a historic vote, Somalia has been elected to occupy a non-permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council for the term of 2025-2026. This significant achievement marks the second time in over half a century that Somalia has been granted this opportunity, reflecting the nation’s substantial progress in diplomatic, security, and political arenas.

The election, which took place during the 78th session of the United Nations, saw Somalia emerge as the sole candidate from East Africa, backed unanimously by the African Union. Joining Somalia in this new cohort of non-permanent members are Pakistan, Denmark, Greece, and Panama. These nations will be taking over the seats from Mozambique, Switzerland, Malta, Japan, and Ecuador.

The Somali government’s concerted efforts to secure this seat have been met with widespread acclaim both domestically and among the diaspora. The President and Prime Minister of the Federal Government of Somalia have been particularly lauded for their dedication to ensuring this landmark achievement.

As a non-permanent member of the Security Council, Somalia will now play a pivotal role in shaping major decisions that influence global security, stability, and political direction. This development is a testament to Somalia’s resurgence as a key player on the international stage and its capacity to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on pressing global issues.

The Somali people’s pride in this accomplishment is palpable, as it not only symbolizes a step forward for the nation but also the promise of a more engaged and influential Somalia in the years to come.
