Egypt, #Eritrea Foreign Ministers discuss Horn of Africa, Red Sea current affairs
Egyptian and Eritrean foreign ministers, Badr Abdelatty and Osman Saleh, respectively, held a phone conversation on Thursday, reaffirming their “commitment to deepen” bilateral ties and regional coordination.
The call underscored both countries’ desire to build on recent diplomatic gains and expand cooperation across multiple sectors, guided by the directives of Presidents Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Isaias Afwerki, Ahram online reported.
The report said the ministers agreed to maintain close coordination on Horn of Africa and Red Sea developments. There is no official readout from Asmara at the time of publication.
Their discussion came days after President el-Sisi met with Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud in the Egyptian coastal city of El Alamein and pledged intensified military support to Somalia and renewed Egypt’s interest in securing the Red Sea, amid growing regional tensions and Ethiopia’s push for Red Sea access.
In October 2024 Egypt, Eritrea, and Somalia held a summit in Asmara in which vowed to enhance security cooperation and protect Somalia’s sovereignty and maritime borders, reiterating a unified front in the region.
