The Vision & Mission

The Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SMFA) was established after Somalia became Independent in 1960 to articulate Somalia'’s Foreign Policy and International Cooperation. For a long time, Somalia pursued a Foreign policy based on fundamental principles of promotion of peaceful co-existence, respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity of other states and preservation of national security, peaceful settlement of disputes, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, non-alignment, national interest and adherence to the Charters of the United Nations and African Union. Somalia has now shifted its foreign policy orientation and currently, the strategy rests on four interlinked pillars of economic diplomacy, peace diplomacy, environmental diplomacy and diaspora diplomacy.

The Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation is in charge of Somali Foreign Policy and International Relations in regard to the Somali National Constitution adopted and amended on 1st July, 1960 by the Somali Parlaiment. The Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SMFA) welcomes with open hands to the international community and its representation into the Democratic Republic of Somalia.
