President Dahir Rayale Kahin Meets Swiss Delegation

Hargeysa, Somaliland, February 06, 2010 (SL Times) – Somaliland President Dahir Rayale Kahin met with a delegation from Switzerland. The Swiss delegation was headed by Switzerland’s envoy to Sudan and the Horn of Africa, Mr Andrea Semadeni.
A written statement released by the President’s spokesman pointed out that the two sides discussed strengthening relations between the two countries, development projects, and the political situation in Somaliland.
President Dahir Rayale Kahin highlighted to his guests the important role Somaliland is playing in establishing peace and security in the region. The President cited the fact that Somaliland is the only country in the Horn of Africa that is holding terrorists and pirates in its jails after trying and convicting them in a court of law. He also stressed that Somaliland did all of this without help from the international community. President Dahir Rayale Kahin appealed to the international community to assist Somaliland in maintaining peace and security in a very dangerous part of the world.
