Addis Ababa, July 9, 2018 (FBC) - UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will meet Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Dr Abiy Ahmed on Monday evening in Addis Ababa, sources in the Ethiopian capital told Reuters.
His visit comes the day after Ethiopia and Eritrea heralded an end to a near 20-year military standoff.
Prime Minister Dr Abiy and Eritrea’s President Isaias Afeworki announced yesterday they would re-open their embassies in each other’s capitals, hailing a stunningly swift rapprochement between bitter regional enemies.
They also agreed to resume airline links, free travel of people, direct international telephone connection and use of ports.
