The leaders of Ethiopia and Eritrea have signed a declaration saying that the “state of war that existed between the two countries has come to an end”, Eritrea’s information minister tweeted.
A peace deal that ended the 1998-1999 border war between the two countries has never been fully implemented.
There has been tension between the neighbours ever since.
The declaration came at a meeting between the two countries’ leaders in Eritrea’s capital, Asmara.
