Somaliland and Taiwan sign deals for improved higher education

Barely a fortnight after formalizing relations, Somaliland and Taiwan have moved in speed to normalize partnership in higher education, a move which would help Hargeisa put systems in place in a bid to revolutionize its education. At Hargeisa, Ahmed Mohamed Diriye, Somaliland's education minister, held a meeting with Lou Chen-hwa, the Taiwan representative for the region, who was formally appointed to the position in July, following a deal for cooperation that was unveiled by the two regions.
