Twenty-five years ago today, Ethiopia and Eritrea, with the support of the international community, concluded the Algiers Agreement to establish peace and demarcate a common border. It was followed by the historic 2018 peace agreement, which reaffirmed both countries’ commitment to respect the border as established by the Algiers Agreement and its subsequent Boundary Commission.

On this anniversary, we reiterate our full support for the Algiers Agreement and the border as established by the Boundary Commission. In line with these agreements, we call on both parties to respect sovereignty, independence, and territorial integrity and to address any tensions or disputes through peaceful and diplomatic means. This remains key for the stability of the entire region.
