Wang said conflicts in the Horn of Africa hamper the region's "tremendous potential for development.'' Speaking in Mombasa through an interpreter, Wang said China's new envoy will work "to share political consensus and to coordinate actions." Previously on his tour of east Africa, Wang visited Eritrea on the northern border of the Tigray region. Six agreements were signed while Yang was in Kenya, including one trade agreement that will see avocados from Kenya in China. The US special envoy to the Horn of Africa, Jeffrey Feltman, was also in the region Thursday in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
