MBABANE- The country seems to be making fruitful relations with many countries.

A few days after renewing its partnership with Netherlands, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Thuli Dladla discussed strengthening ties between Eswatini and Somaliland with Foreign Minister of the Republic of Somaliland Dr Essa Mahmoud Kayd.

This was last Friday, when the Kayd made a courtesy visit to Dladla. However, the finer details of the talks were not shared.

Kayd was one of the officials who had come to the country to join in the celebration of the Shiselweni Reed Dance over the past weekend.

Dladla is also expected to hold bilateral discussions with various cabinet ministers and organisations in the coming days.

Somaliland is a state in Africa. It lies in the Horn of Africa, on the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden. It is bordered by Djibouti to the northwest, Ethiopia to the south and west, and the uncontested part of Somalia to the east. It’s claimed territory has an area of 176 120 square kilometres, with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021.
