Somaliland Mission in Taipei is in Full Swing

Mohamed Hagi Mohamud – Somaliland’s representative in Taipei, Taiwan – who recently opened that office has already had opportunities to promote Somaliland by presenting its achievements and accomplishments.  He was invited to attend a biennial conference that brought together more than 200 international non-governmental organizations operating in Taiwan. His remarks on international development and the role of the Somaliland government and non-governmental organizations were as follows:

The Global NGO Forum on International Development, formerly named ‘Asian NGOs International Development Conference’, is the largest biennial meeting focused on discussion of international development issues in Taiwan, as well as the flagship event of Taiwan Alliance in International Development (Taiwan AID).  Previously, the ‘Asian NGOs International Development Conference’ already completed 4 Editions from 2012 to 2018 and so far, more than 150 guest speakers and 1,200 participants in total attended the events. Over the last 8 years, the Conference was mainly concentrated on regional perspective with most of the speakers from Asia. This year, Taiwan AID would like to further extend the meeting to a global scope and rename as ‘Global NGO Forum on International Development’, aiming to invite speakers from all over the world to shed light on the latest trends and progress related with international development, particularly under the threat of COVID-19 pandemic.
