"Germany will continue playing a key role in sustainable development in Somaliland."
- German
deputy ambassador to Kenya Marcus Bollmohr says ties between his
country and Somaliland remain strong despite the east African state
still lacking international recognition.
Bollmohr met with the
Somaliland envoy to Kenya Bashe Omar in Nairobi where they discussed
matters touching on infrastructural and industrial development in
Somaliland.
“It was great to interact with the German envoy. He
assured Somalilanders of German’s continued support for development
initiatives,” said Ambassador Bashe Omar.
“Germany plays a crucial
role in sustainable development in Somaliland. They {Germans} have a
proven record of effective delivery of development projects in
Somaliland,” Omar added.
Germany and Somaliland have entered into
ventures previously among them being the establishment of a cement
factory, coal-powered electricity plant and a gypsum factory at the cost
of US$ 250-300 million by Germany’s Sougueta Engineering AG.
“We
will continue to work with Somaliland on areas of need and encourage our
business community to venture into the country and invest,” the German
envoy stated.
