Somalia–United Arab Emirates relations are bilateral relations between Somalia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Both nations are Arab League members and engage in close development cooperation. Somalia also has an embassy in Abu Dhabi, and the UAE maintains an embassy in Mogadishu. ==Overview== Relations between the territories of present-day Somalia and the United Arab Emirates stretch back to antiquity. The 1st century CE ''Periplus of the Erythraean Sea'', among other documents, reports early commercial exchanges between traders inhabiting city-states on the northern Somalia littoral with Himyarite and Sabaean merchants, who controlled much of the Arabian peninsula. During the Middle Ages and early modern period, the various Somali Sultanates also maintained close relations with other kingdoms across the Red Sea. In 1969, Somalia and the United Arab Emirates were among the founding members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Both nations are also members of the League of Arab States. After the start of the civil war in Somalia in 1991, the UAE maintained diplomatic relations with the Somali Transitional National Government and its successor the Transitional Federal Government, and supported their government initiatives.〔( Somali President hails UAE President's humanitarian efforts )〕 The UAE has also officially supported the Puntland Maritime Police Force since the military body's formation in 2010. The subsequent establishment of the Federal Government of Somalia in August 2012 was welcomed by the Emirati authorities, who re-affirmed the UAE's continued support for Somalia's government, its territorial integrity and sovereignty.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs/2012/sg2187.doc.htm )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Somalia–United Arab Emirates relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
