Political relations
The relations between Serbia and Eritrea, gaining independence in 1993, are good, but there is room for improving political and economic cooperation. A positive contribution to the relations between the two states is the principal position of Eritrea regarding the non-recognition of the unilaterally declared independence of Kosovo.
The MFA of Eritrea visited Serbia in 2017.
Economic relations
Economic cooperation occurs through very modest foreign trade exchange, although the potential is far higher. There is interest in establishing partner relations in this domain.
There were no exports in 2019, while 14 thousand euros of imports were registered. During 2020 there were no exports, while 1,000 thousand euros of imports were registered.
