A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said:
Twenty-three 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. In 2018, in a historic peace agreement, both countries recommitted to respect the border as established by the Algiers Agreement and its subsequent Boundary Commission.
On this anniversary it is more important than ever that the sovereignty and territorial integrity as defined by these agreements is respected. The UK reiterates our full support for the Algiers Agreement and the border as established by its subsequent Boundary Commission, and remains committed to working with all Horn of Africa countries toward the shared goal of a peaceful and prosperous region.
