New Somali Ambassador to UK Presents Credentials to King Charles III

Somalia’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Abdulkadir Hashi, officially presented his credentials to His Majesty King Charles III during a formal ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

Reflecting on the occasion, Ambassador Hashi described it as a “full-circle moment,” recalling his early days in diplomacy when, in 1985, he accompanied the late Ambassador Salah Ali to the same palace as a young diplomat.

This nostalgic return to the historic venue underscores both his personal journey and the enduring ties between Somalia and the United Kingdom.
