Somaliland Ambassador to Israel Mohamed Haji announced his arrival in Athens to participate in the high-level defense forum, stating that Somaliland’s presence reflects its increasing role in international strategic and security dialogue.
“Somaliland’s participation demonstrates its expanding contribution to global discussions on security and strategy,” Ambassador Mohamed Haji said in a statement released during the summit.
The Athens Defense Summit brings together government officials, diplomats, military leaders, and security experts from different countries to discuss regional security, defense cooperation, geopolitical developments, and emerging global threats.
