DODOMA, Tanzania — Somalia plans to build a new embassy in Tanzania’s capital, Dodoma, after receiving land from the Tanzanian government, Somali Ambassador Ilyas Ali Hassan said.

Hassan thanked the Tanzanian government for allocating the land, describing the decision as a sign of goodwill between the two countries.
The announcement highlights the countries’ continuing diplomatic engagement as Somalia seeks to strengthen its representation abroad and maintain relations with regional partners.
