King Salman Bin Abdul Aziz with Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmad (right) and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki during the signing of the peace agreement in Jeddah. It’s the second peace deal the two states have made since they ended decades of enmity in July. Ahmad said one of the biggest priorities for Shaikh Mohammad was peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea. UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, Reem Al Hashemi, told an event in Washington in July that UAE had “played a humble role in trying to bring these two countries together”. Eritrea and Ethiopia declared peace in July and agreed to reestablish economic links after an unprecedented summit between the neighbours’ leaders ended decades of enmity.
