President Isaias today announced plan to send a delegation to Addis Ababa for peace talks with Ethiopia.

The announcement was made at the annual martyr’s day celebration in Asmara, the capital of Eritrea.

The war fought between the two countries caused massive damage, pulled back the economy of both nations, and resulted in displacement of people, the President said.
