Somalia–South Korea relations are bilateral relations between Somalia and South Korea. Diplomatic ties were first established on 25 September 1987.[1]

History

South Korea officially recognizes and maintains diplomatic ties with the Federal Government of Somalia. In May 2013, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud accepted the credentials of the new South Korean Ambassador to Mogadishu, Kim Chan-Woo, the first diplomatic representative of an Asian Pacific country to work in Somalia in many years. Chan-Woo also announced that South Korea would re-open its embassy in the Somali capital.<ref name=|Hskaats">Abdiaziz, Hassan (16 May 2013). "South Korea Appoints Ambassador to Somalia".

He also asserted that his administration would once again launch agricultural and technical projects in Somalia, as the South Korean authorities had done in the past.[2]
