LONDON: The UK government on Monday said that it does not recognize the independence of Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, and reaffirmed its support for Somalia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Last week, Israel became the first country to formally recognize the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. Other countries have declined to do the same, including China on Monday.
