Eritrea to send delegation to Ethiopia for talks: envoys
ADDIS ABABA, June 20, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Eritrea will send a delegation to
longtime-foe Ethiopia, two of its ambassadors said Wednesday, after Addis
Ababa announced it would honor a peace agreement between the two nations that
it had previously refused to implement.
“President Isaias (Afwerki) announced today that Eritrea shall dispatch [a]
delegation to Addis Ababa to a constructive engagement with Ethiopia,”
Estifanos Afeworki, Eritrea’s ambassador to Japan, said on Twitter in
comments echoed by his counterpart in Kenya.
