Ethiopian Prime Minister and his colleague leaders of government from
Eritrea and Somalia started their trilateral meeting on Friday after a
busy schedule visiting projects in the Amhara regional state.
According to Abiy’s office, the discussions with Eritrea’s Isaias
Afwerki and Somalia’s Mohammed Abdullahi Farmaajo were based on three
broad areas.
“The tripartite discussions have continued, focused on regional economic
integration; strengthening peace and security in the Horn region, and
on developing a common and aligned voice on international agendas,” the
PM’s office said in a tweet.
Friday’s meeting is to be continued with talks slated for later today,
the office added. The leaders were shown in photographs in a rather
informal setting engaging in discussions. A communique is expected to be
issued at the end of the summit.
The meeting is the second leg of the trilateral summit. The first was in
Asmara in September this year. Countries in the region had been at
loggerheads of different issues over decades.
The most protracted of the spats being that between Ethiopia and
Eritrea. With the signing of a peace deal between the two countries in
July this year, a number of the issues have since been settled.
The case of Somalia and Eritrea was also settled in September on the
sidelines of the trilateral summit in Asmara, whiles Eritrea’s issues
with Djibouti is also on the way to resolution as Afwerki for the first
time in a long while met his counterpart Omar Guelleh in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia.
