Successful Public Seminar conducted in London UK
On 23rd February 2020, Eritreans in London UK, held a meeting, on the current situation and developments in Eritrea and the Horn of Africa. The seminar started with a moment of silence, to honour the selfless Martyrs who gave us their precious lives for us to live in dignity.

Following this the seminar under the theme of “Resilience for Higher Progress & Development” was presented by Eritrean Ambassador to United Kingdom & Ireland H.E. Estifanos Habtemariam.
Ambassador Estifanos, updated the participants on the current state of Eritrea, explained in greater detail government plans and achievements in several sectors; especially in agriculture, health, education, physical infrastructure as well as the development of human capital.

with the development of relations with neighbouring countries and the lifting of the illegal sanctions the cooperation between the region is growing to the highest level.
During the seminar Ambassador Estifanos says the hostilities Eritrea faced in the last 20 years were multifaceted & detrimental to our economical, social & political development. With the cultured and rule abiding people and leadership that has progressive and realistic policies, Eritrea has become exemplary that those who have agenda of domination have openly become hostile against the Eritrean people. He expressed conviction to resist, during which the development progress of Eritrea is registering promising results and citizens expressing resolve to invest in their country, thanks to the strong resilience and commitment of the Eritrean people and government.
