Lists of office-holders
Puntland Ministers of Planning and International Cooperation, 2007 to 2026
Puntland has no foreign ministry. Rulers.org lists its Minister of Planning and International Cooperation in that place, with nine terms since 2007. Daud Mohamed Omar has held the post since 2024, his second time in it.
In short
Dates are known only to the year. Rulers.org is the only source we found that lists every holder; we will add exact dates as we find them in Puntland government notices. (Rulers.org, Foreign ministers S to Z)
Each row below gives the holder's name in English and Somali spelling, dates in office and the source for that row. Dates are from Rulers.org, Foreign ministers S to Z; where sources give different dates, the note says so. How we source: How we check facts.
