So this is what has been agreed on between President MBC and the Chinese delegation who will be departing later today from Hargeisa.
After failing to persuade President MBC to abandon Somaliland relations with Taiwan. The Chinese want instead to open an office in Hargeisa.
President Muse Biihi has put a condition that the office should be similar in configuration to the office by the UK Foreign Office in Hargeisa etc. That means, the office will be directly coming under Beijing.
Also additionally, once the new office opens they will be accepting Somaliland's passport as valid document.
The Chinese have also promised to contribute to Somaliland's development. They mentioned that they will upgrade Hargeisa's Egal International Airport to become a world class Airport.
This is perhaps the Chinese's way of trying to build some sort of goodwill and rapport with Somalilanders and perhaps in the future try again their 'one china' policy demands.
In anycase, this is a huge win for Somaliland.
Kudos to El-Presidente Muse Biixi Abdi.
