Somalia and Croatia Sign MOU on Political Consultations

Relations between Somalia and Croatia have made notable progress in recent years, with the two countries formally establishing diplomatic relations in February 2022. Since then, both governments have expressed their willingness to build a relationship based on cooperation, mutual respect and shared interests.

On diplomatic representation, Somalia has appointed a non-resident ambassador to Croatia. Somalia’s Ambassador to Croatia, Abdiasis Mohamud Mohamed, who is based in Berlin, Germany, presented his credentials to the President of the Republic of Croatia, Zoran Milanović, on 13 May 2026. This marked an important step in strengthening Somalia’s diplomatic presence and representation in Croatia.

On Croatia’s side, information from the Croatian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs indicates that matters related to Somalia are handled through the Embassy of Croatia in Cairo, Egypt. This shows that the two countries do not yet have resident embassies in Mogadishu or Zagreb, but instead rely on non-resident diplomatic representation.
