    The fourth meeting of the Ethiopian-Sudanese joint ministerial commission ended on Monday with a resolution to reactivate the joint border commission. Its tasks would include facilitating the movement of people and goods, as well as tackling potentially contentious border issues. The ministers also agreed to establish a joint political committee to convene every six months, and signed understandings on the use of ports, transport and communications, oil products, trade, water resources and investment, the official Suna news agency reported. Sudanese and Ethiopian Foreign Ministers Mustafa Osman Ismail and Seyoum Mesfin also agreed to support Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh’s peace initiative on Somalia as a step towards regional peace and development, it added.
