Addis Ababa May 6/2022/ENA/ Ethiopia and the European Union (EU) held their annual political dialogue today in Addis Ababa as per Article 8 of the Cotonou Partnership Agreement between the EU and African, Caribbean, and the Pacific States, according to Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Unfortunately, the peace-building measures of the government are not getting deserved positive response from the TPLF, he noted, and requested European Union’s support and understanding in this regard. The Ethiopia-European Union (EU) political dialogue is timely for both parties given the challenging situations they have faced now, European Union Ambassador to Ethiopia Roland Kobia said. Representatives of the European Union appreciated the peace building measures of the Government of Ethiopia and its commitments to come up with amicable solutions to the border conflict between Ethiopia and Sudan and the trilateral negotiations over the GERD. Both parties appreciated the opportunity that the political dialogue offered them to genuinely reflect on pivotal issues of common interest exchanging wishes to meet in the next round with pledges to strengthen the strategic partnership between the two sides.
