August 2010 - President Isaias Afwerki today received and held separate
talks with the Director of the African and Indian Ocean Department in the
French Foreign Ministry, Mr. Stephen Gompertz, as well as the Director
General of the UN Department for Peace and Humanitarian Affairs at the
Norwegian Foreign Ministry, Mr. Geir O. Pedersen.
In the meetings held at the Denden Hall focusing on regional issues, the
President stated that the Eritrean government is striving to promote peace
and stability in the Horn region, and that such modest role would be
enhanced.
President Isaias further indicated that neither issue could be resolved in
isolation nor peace and stability ensured in isolation, and as such the
prevailing issues in the region should be viewed within a comprehensive
context. He went on to say that handling the issue of peace and stability in
the region in such a manner would not only serve to promote harmony and
economic prosperity of the peoples in the region but also benefit partners.
Moreover, extensive discussions were conducted on the available investment
opportunities in Eritrea and the potential domains in which French and
Norwegian owners of capital could invest.
