Addis Abeba – The State of Eritrea has replaced its outgoing Ambassador Semere Russom, by Biniam Berhe, who presented his letter of credence as Chargé d’affaires representing Eritrea to officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on 30 March.
Meanwhile, Addis Standard learned that Eritrea has not yet accepted the letter of credence from Ethiopia’s newly appointed envoy to Asmara, Ambassador Fikadu Beyen.
