Visiting Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Wednesday criticised the US over sanctions on Eritrea for its role in the Tigray conflict, in neighbouring Ethiopia.
In a joint statement issued after Mr Wang met with Eritrean counterpart Osman Saleh, the two sides said the sanctions imposed in November amounted to external interference, even as Eritrea pledged to support the One-China policy on what constitutes the actual foreign representation of China abroad.
