The agreement was formally signed today in Hargeisa during a ceremony between Major General Abdirahman Abdilahi Hasan, Commander of the Somaliland Police Force, and Mr. Sunil Kumar, Secretary of the CPSU.

The CPSU, a globally recognized organization, promotes collaboration, knowledge exchange, and sports development among police forces in its member countries.

Mr. Sunil Kumar echoed this sentiment, expressing his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled to welcome Somaliland as the 41st member of the CPSU. This is a pivotal moment for fostering stronger ties and collaboration among police forces worldwide.”

This development is expected to enhance the Somaliland Police Force’s participation in international police sports events, training programs, and collaborative initiatives, further solidifying its integration into global law enforcement networks.
