The Foreign Ministers of the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Kuwait, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt, the Federal Republic of Somalia, the Republic of the Sudan, the State of Libya, the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the Democratic People's Republic of Algeria, the State of Palestine, the Republic of Turkey, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have strongly condemned Israel's announcement of the appointment of a diplomatic envoy to what is called "Somaliland," considering it a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia and the unity and territorial integrity thereof.
The Ministers affirmed their complete rejection of all unilateral measures that undermine the unity of states or detract from their sovereignty, emphasizing their unwavering support for the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Somalia, and for the legitimate Somali state institutions as the sole entity representing the will of the Somali people.
The Ministers further affirmed that such measures constitute a clear violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and represent a dangerous precedent that undermines stability in the Horn of Africa region, with negative repercussions on regional peace and security in general.
