Ethiopian-Eritrean Friendship Conference



Ethiopian-Eritrean Friendship Conference (March 12-14, 2010)


The Ethiopian Eritrean Friendship Committee is pleased to announce that the second Ethiopian-Eritrean Friendship Conference will be held on March 12-14, 2010, at Masonic Center in San Jose, California.


The aim of the conference is to bring together Ethiopian and Eritrean scholars and academicians from around the world to discuss ways and means of healing past conflicts and building future relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

In our first conference last year, Professor Tesfatsion Medhanie from Germany and Professor Daniel Kendie from United States were keynote speakers on this issue. While Professor Tesfatsion Medhanie

presented confederal relations, Professor Daniel Kendie proposed a federal system as possibilities for future relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

The upcoming conference will explore wide range of topics related to Ethiopian and Eritrean relations through keynote speeches, panel discussions, and research papers. The conference is open to the public and all interested individuals or parties are encouraged to attend.

It is our hope that this occasion will add a new chapter to the promising people to people initiative for healing, reconciliation, and harmonious relations between Ethiopia and Eritrea.
