ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Egyptian foreign ministers on Sunday discussed the situation in Yemen and Somalia and resolved to promote regional peace and stability, the Pakistani foreign office said. The development comes days after Israel announced recognizing Somaliland, a self-declared region that broke away from Somalia in 1991 but had not previously been recognized by any United Nations (UN) member state. Pakistan on Sunday joined the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and other Arab and Islamic nations in condemning the Israeli move, which it called a violation of international law.

Somalia condemns Israel's recognition of Somaliland, asserting its sovereignty and warning of risks to regional peace and stability.
