The agreement reached in Ankara marked a pivotal moment in addressing a nuanced dispute that had brewed for nearly a year, with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed emphasizing the importance of this resolution for regional stability.
Erdogan declared the accord a 'historic agreement,' expressing hope that it would pave the way for a renewed atmosphere of cooperation, underlining the significant diplomatic role Turkey played in brokering the talks.
Both leaders acknowledged the complexity of the conflict stemming from Ethiopia's controversial deal with Somaliland and expressed a commitment to ensuring that future collaborations respect Somalia's sovereignty while promoting mutual economic interests.
Technical talks are set to commence by the end of February 2025, aimed at establishing frameworks that would facilitate Ethiopia's access to the sea in a manner consistent with Somalia's sovereign authority.
