Ethiopia Pursuing Win-Win Approach on Ethio-Sudan Border: FA Spokesperson

Addis Ababa February 2/2021 (ENA)  Ethiopia will continue to follow win-win approach to resolve the Ethio-Sudan border dispute, Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Dina Mufti said.

Briefing the media today, the spokesperson said Ethiopia has once again reaffirmed its commitment to resolve the issue peacefully by reactivating existing mechanisms for the re-demarcation process.

The country has told the Sudanese side that the recent trend witnessed in border areas will not be beneficial for both countries, the spokesperson noted.
