List of ambassadors of China to Somalia

The list of Chinese ambassadors to Somalia records the officials who have managed diplomatic relations between Beijing and Mogadishu since this mission was established. It documents the changing leadership that has overseen periods of engagement, interruption, and renewed cooperation between the two nations.

The first Chinese embassy in Somalia was established in 1961, shortly after Somalia's independence in 1960, with Zhang Yue as the initial ambassador. The mission closed in 1991 during Somalia's civil conflict and reopened in 2014, reflecting China's renewed commitment to the region.

Chinese ambassadors to Somalia coordinate educational exchanges, language programs, and diplomatic events to strengthen connections between the two nations.

The list can be researched through diplomatic archives and government records to find the names and tenures of various ambassadors. For those interested in Chinese-Somali relations, it serves as a reference for understanding decades of official representation.

Fei Shengchao leads the current diplomatic mission since September 2021, managing bilateral projects in infrastructure, energy, and maritime cooperation.
