President Ahmed Mahmud Silanyo has received an official invitation for talks in London. He is leading a delegation which includes First Lady Amina Weris and Foreign Minister, Dr. Mohamed A Omar and other officials.

No agenda has been made public but Somaliland sources expected the talks with William Hague, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, will cover the modalities for a resumed dialogue between Somaliland and Somalia, as well as Somaliland's participation in the May conference.

The Somaliland President is also likely to raise his concern over the UK's issue of a security alert on Somaliland recently.
