Ethiopia is actively pursuing access to the sea while fostering stronger ties with Somalia, according to Ambassador Nebiyat Getachew, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Ambassador Nebiyat emphasized in a statement that recent agreements struck between the two nations aim to benefit both.
These agreements build upon a foundation of restored relations, achieved following discussions in Ankara, Turkey. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed further solidified this progress during a visit to Mogadishu, resulting in an agreement expected to bolster bilateral ties and contribute significantly to regional peace.
The two nations have also pledged to collaborate in combating the Al-Shabaab terrorist group.
While celebrating this diplomatic achievement, Ambassador Nebiyat underscored Ethiopia's continued pursuit of its right to sea access, signaling the nation's determination to overcome its landlocked status.
