Taiwan-Somaliland ties growing despite diplomatic isolation 

Taiwan and Somaliland are expanding economic and political ties despite being two of the world's most diplomatically isolated governments.

Somaliland Foreign Minister Essa Kayd met with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Wednesday and said his visit to Taipei “signifies our mutual determination and resolve to upscale, expand and deepen our friendship and cooperation to new heights for the mutual benefits of our two countries”.
