"Our goal is to see the two ports work
together to enhance trade ties, improve their capacity and share areas
where we can both benefit. I am so happy to hear about the planned
expansion of the port of Berbera. This is good for the region and it
will definitely spur trade along the East African coastline," Mr Joho
said at his office.
Mr Joho noted that the project will open up the region, enhancing trade.

Mr Omar also said the collaboration will facilitate constructive trade ties between the two parties.
"Mombasa
port is the busiest in the region and we hope to learn from them and
also share what we can offer. We have offered to share areas we are
strong in, especially in livestock trade, and we invite traders at the
Mombasa port to explore their areas of strength and work with Berbera
port," Mr Omar said.
The envoy said Mr Joho has been
invited to Somaliland for benchmarking, pointing out business links with
the United Arab Emirates and Ethiopia. He added: "The
governor invited me so that we can discuss how our two cities can trade.
We know Berbera Port and Mombasa port share so much historically and
they can both benefit from their strategic locations."
The county boss welcomed Somaliland maritime students to study at the Government Training Institute in Mombasa. Somaliland,
which broke away from Somalia in 1991, is striving to initiate
diplomatic and trade relations with neighbouring countries as it pushes
for recognition at the African Union and the United Nations.
