The Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has said he wants to meet the President of Eritrea soon, in what is likely to be an effort to kick start the stalled reconciliation process.
Mr Abiy was speaking on his return to Ethiopia where he was welcomed by large crowds after receiving the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway.

The fact that he reached out to make peace with Eritrea last year was a key reason for being awarded the prize.
However during Tuesday's award ceremony the chairwoman of the Nobel committee Berit Reiss-Anderson described the peace process as being at a standstill and said she hoped the award would lead to progress.
Despite the peace deal, border crossings between the two countries remain closed.
