| Amb. Neil Wigen British ambassador to Somalia |
The British ambassador to Somaliland and Somalia has reiterated the UK’s continued efforts of fortifying relations with this country.
Amb. Neil Wigen who was speaking at the Hargeisa International Book-fair reminded the audience that Somaliland/UK relations was one that had been on for eons hence that his country is determined to pep up Somaliland’s development.
He said that the bilateral relation between the two countries was mainly focused on development and security.
He dwelt his speech on the wide range of help and support his country did for Somaliland.
Amb. Wigen noted that the UK and Somaliland had sound ties or all fronts which stood on strong pillars.
The conveners of the book fair and members of eminent personalities who were present appealed the British government, through the ambassador, to review the remittance issue which most of the western countries, (UK, US) are bent on suspending.
Ironically, the backbone of the GDP in this region, comes from money repatriation from abroad.
