On Wednesday 1 August, a delegation of the Embassy of Ethiopia paid a courtesy visit to the Eritrean Embassy in Brussels for the first time since 1998.
Both sides were thrilled to discuss the next steps to be taken in the reconciliation process between the two countries. Mr Taye Kenenissa, Area Manager Benelux at Ethiopian airlines, also took part in the meeting and offered a plane model of a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the national carrier’s newest aircraft, to Chargé d’affaires Michael Tesfai Hagos as a symbol of the increased number of flights linking Eritrea to the world to come.
