President Taye Atsek Selassie said "The government will work diplomatically and peacefully with regional countries to find a fair and secure sea route,”.
In his speech at the opening ceremony of the 6th House of People's Representatives and the 5th House of Federation, the President stated that the issue of the seaport has gained international acceptance.
“Ethiopia is a country located between the Nile and the Red Sea; its destiny and future are closely linked to the two waters,” the President said. “However, Ethiopia has been isolated in a way that does not follow justice and does not involve or involve the people.”
The President said, "The government is working to ensure that Ethiopia returns to these waters and benefits from equitable development," adding, "After three decades, the issue of the seaport has become an international issue."
President Taye Atsek Selassie speech in Parliament today reinforces previous comments made by various government officials and institutions regarding Ethiopia's access to the sea.
