On July 28-30, the Somalian president paid an official visit to Eritrea for the first time in 15 years. The Somalian and Eritrean presidents agreed to restore diplomatic relations and bilateral relations. The implementation of the agreements was discussed during the Eritrean foreign ministers visit to Somalia on Monday.
