Lord Callanan (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Ethiopia and Eritrea

Contribution

My Lords, I join in welcoming the Minister to the Front Bench; I well remember my first Question many years ago and I am sure it is a difficult experience. Ethiopia’s ambition of gaining access to the Red Sea is one of the core driving factors behind tensions in the region, so what discussions have Ministers or UK diplomats had with both Eritrean and Ethiopian counterparts about a fair, equitable and peaceful agreement that could solve this problem between the two parties?
