The Chinese foreign ministry on Monday said that the nation opposes any attempt to split territories in Somalia, affirming support for the sovereignty of the East African country.
"No country should encourage or support other countries' internal separatist forces for its own selfish interests," ministry spokesperson Lin Jian told reporters at a press conference.
On Friday Israel became the first country to formally recognise the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.
