Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar visited Somaliland on Tuesday on a trip that was denounced by Somalia, 10 days after Israel formally recognised the self-declared republic as an independent and sovereign state .
Israel is the only country that has formally recognised Somalilands move to break away from Somalia, which described Israels decision on recognition as an unlawful step and said Scars visit as a serious violation of its sovereignty.
In a statement on X, Saar said that he had held talks on the full range of relations with Somalilands president, Abdirahman Mohammed Abdullah, in the capital Hargeisa.
