Somaliland Diaspora community that live in Copenhagen were vigilant and found out the mission of the summit and have decided not to welcome Somaliland’s minister of industry who is attending the meeting with Somali government and regional states ministers.

The Diaspora community raised many questions why the minister from Somaliland has rushed to go to such meetings.

They thought that why the minister should go to a meeting which is aimed at addressing the investment opportunities in Somaliland.
