This article lists the diplomatic missions in Somaliland, a de facto independent republic whose independence is not officially recognised by most member states of the United Nations or any other international organisation. [1] The capital city of Hargeisa hosts no embassies of UN member states, but at least three consulates and a number of liaison offices. Israel became the first UN member state to formally recognise its independence in December 2025 and is expected to open an embassy in Somaliland. [2]
