Asmara, 14 April 2010 - President Isaias Afwerki today received and held
talks with 5 members of the German Parliament and representatives of the
Hamer Forum Doctors Association.
In the meeting, the President gave detailed briefings on bilateral
relations, as well as Eritrea's relations with neighboring countries. He
underlined that the silence of the international community as regards the
implementation of the Eritrea-Ethiopia Boundary Commission's final and
binding ruling is quite distressing.
Indicating that Eritrea is playing modest role towards promoting peace and
stability in the Horn of Africa, President Isaias pointed out that its
support to Sudan-Sudan solution towards ensuring comprehensive political
solution in the Sudan emanates from this stance. In this respect, he
emphasized that external interference and acts of adventurism through proxy
are the factors destabilizing the region.
As regards the Somali issue, the President explained that be it the
international community, the US or other force cannot handle the issue of
the Somalis, but rather extend support to them so as to resolve their issue
themselves. In this connection, he expressed the Eritrean government's
conviction that external intervention would only further complicate the
situation, rather than bring about a lasting solution.
President Isaias explained to the delegation that Eritrea has no problem to
hold discussion with any party on the basis of positive and constructive
engagement.
Members of the German Parliament said that they were able to obtain
extensive and clear briefings from the President that enabled them to
acquire comprehensive understanding. They further asserted that the existing
relations in the health sector would be enhanced.
