They listened to President Afwerki's vision regarding developments in the Red Sea, in light of the importance of providing favorable conditions for restoring normal maritime navigation and international trade through the Bab al-Mandab Strait, as well as developments in the Horn of Africa and the challenges facing the region, and ways to enhance security and stability there.
