Russia expresses willingness to facilitate talks between Ethiopian and Eritrean leaders

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stated that his country is willing to host and facilitate meetings between the leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea if they show interest in such dialogue. Lavrov made these remarks during a gathering of African media editors-in-chief in Moscow, which took place alongside the Russia-Africa Summit. The offer represents a potential diplomatic channel for resolving tensions between the two Horn of Africa nations. Russia’s readiness to act as a mediator depends entirely on the willingness of both Addis Ababa and Asmara to participate in the proposed discussions.
