Thank you for your kind remarks, Mr. President @musebiihi! The #Somaliland cities of Berbera and Zeila, two of the #HornOfAfrica’s (非洲之角) ancient trading cities, have long attracted the interest of global powers because of their strategic location near the Mandeb Strait.

This is why #Somaliland is such an important stakholder in global politics, trade, and security. Its coastal ports are the region’s most valuable real estate & make it a key player in terms of trade, development, energy, and water security.

Berbera airport has the longest runway in Africa. It was built by the USSR in1970, in order to counter the USA’s military presence in the region. It was rented by NASA at a cost of US$40 million per year and used as an emergency landing site for the Space Shuttle from 1980 - 1991
