10 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Somalia has reopened its Embassy in the United Kingdom this Friday 32 years later, in an act in which the new diplomatic representative in London Abdulkadir Ahmed Jeyr has participated, after it had to close in 1991 due to the collapse of the Government of the country of the horn of Africa.
The Embassy, in the heart of London, is expected to provide consular assistance and services to the nearly 500,000 Somali diaspora citizens in the UK. The opening ceremony was attended by the Olympic medalist Mohamed Farah.
Jeyr trusts that the reopening of the Embassy represents an important step to strengthen diplomatic relations and ties of goodwill with the United Kingdom, which already reopened its own in Mogadishu in 2013 after being closed for 22 years.
