Hargeisa (Hornpost) – The Vice President of the Republic of Somaliland and Acting President, H.E. Mohamed Ali Aw Cabdi, today attended the ceremony marking the 30th Anniversary of the establishment of the Somaliland Coast Guard.
The commemoration, held at the Coast Guard Headquarters, was attended by senior commanders of the national armed forces as well as representatives from Somaliland’s partner countries.
In his keynote address, the Vice President congratulated all members of the Coast Guard and their families, stating:
“It is a great honor for me to join you today in celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the founding of the Somaliland Coast Guard. On this historic occasion, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and appreciation to the commanders, deputy commanders, officers, non-commissioned officers, rank and file, as well as their spouses and children. I pray that Allah grants your health, strength, and continued success.”
Vice President Aw Cabdi also underlined the importance of Somaliland’s marine resources, urging citizens to make full use of the country’s rich coastal and marine potential:
