Diplomatic ties with Eritrea restored

The Eritrean government on Monday welcomed “with satisfaction” a decision by Djibouti to restore diplomatic ties. “The Eritrean government, which has always attached great importance to the cultivation of warm and good neighbourly relations between the brotherly peoples of the two countries, is prepared on its part to normalise and restore diplomatic ties with the Republic of Djibouti,” a statement from Eritrea’s foreign ministry said. It expressed gratitude to Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gadaffi “and other friendly governments which have exerted efforts towards the realisation of this objective”.
