Somalia is Ready to Discuss Possibility of Giving Ethiopia Access to One of Commercial Ports: Media
Earlier, Kenya has proposed a regional maritime treaty to ease tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia over the latter's agreement with Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland on access to the Red Sea, according to media reports.
Mogadishu is ready to discuss the possibility of granting Ethiopia access to one of Somalia's commercial ports, the media reported, citing the Somali Foreign Minister Ali Mohamed Omar.
However, according to the minister, Somalia will never accept the establishment of a naval base by Ethiopia, the outlet said.
Omar reportedly added that relevant proposals would be discussed on the condition that they meet Somalia's national interests, which are the protection of the sovereignty, political independence and unity of the country.
On Friday, a regional maritime
treaty was proposed by Kenya, in collaboration with Djibouti and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).
The treaty aims to ease
tensions between Somalia and Ethiopia over the latter's agreement with Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland, providing the landlocked nation with access to the Red Sea and allowing to set up a naval base.
