'Opportunity for Fresh Start': Ethiopian Politician Praises 'Russia's Diplomatic Strategy to Bring Global Peace'
"There is no way to delay peace," hence Putin's peace talks proposal is "very critical, important and timely," Fethi Mahdi, deputy chair of Ethiopia's House Committee on Foreign Relations & Peace Affairs, told Sputnik Africa.
"The absence of preconditions, it signals the two parties, especially for the Russian side, a willingness to engage in open and exploratory dialogue," the official noted.
According to Fethi, direct talks without preconditions can also:
⦁ enhance understanding of concerns and minimize their misinterpretation;
⦁ promote flexible and creative problem-solving methods;
⦁ keep discussions centered on the main causes of the conflict;
⦁ allow room for compromise.
Russia's diplomatic peace-oriented strategy could:
⦁ reduce global geopolitical tensions;
⦁ help avoid escalation into a broader global conflict;
⦁ stabilize international trade and energy markets;
⦁ improve global food security, lower inflation and bring economic relief, especially in Africa.
