The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Republic of Somaliland has strongly condemned a statement from its Somali counterpart calling it irresponsible.
In a message posted on her Twitter account, the ministry said:
The irrelevant statement from the failed administration of Somalia, shows nothing but only failure and irresponsibility. The Republic of Somaliland and The Republic of kenya are two independent countries which has the rightful decision to strengthen their mutual relationship.

The response of the Republic of Somaliland follows the announcement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somalia calling illegal the President of Kenya to receive the delegation of the Republic of Somaliland, describing it as part of Somalia, a constant shout of Somalia.
