Africa-Press<\/a> – Eritrea<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Asmara, 06 September 2021- Eritrea participated at the Ministerial Conference on Marine Litter and Plastic Pollution that was held on 1 and 2 September in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

The objective of the Ministerial conference was to find a binding global accord to prevent marine litter and control sea pollution.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the occasion, Mr. Beyene Russom, Eritrean Ambassador in Kenya and Eritrea\u2019s representative at the UN-Habitat underlining the significant damage that plastics and plastic products thrown inland and sea are causing on the environment, called for creating alternative solutions that do not harm the environment.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Beyene noted that Eritrea banned the production, importation, and use of single-use plastics as early as 2002 at a municipal level and in 2005 at a national level.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that production, trading, and use of plastics continue to be legal in countries of the region and beyond, plastic products continued to enter into the country on a small scale, Ambassador Beyene, called for effective collective and integrated efforts to address the problem.<\/p>\n

The conference was attended by Mr. Adm Osman, Charge d\u2019Affairs at the Eritrean Embassy in Geneva, and Mr. Kalekrstos Zerisenay, First Secretary at the Eritrean Embassy in Kenya, in-person and virtual.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
