The UK government on Monday said that it does not recognise the independence of Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, and reaffirmed its support for Somalia's sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Last week, Israel became the first country to formally recognise the self-declared Republic of Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state.
