埃塞俄比亚于周四宣布关闭其驻厄立特里亚大使馆，并宣布亚的斯亚贝巴的10名厄立特里亚外交官为“不受欢迎的人”。
Ethiopia on Thursday announced the closure of its embassy in Eritrea and declared 10 Eritrean diplomats in Addis Ababa persona non grata.
埃塞俄比亚外交部在一份声明中表示，为了回应厄立特里亚针对埃塞俄比亚的“直接和间接敌对与好战行为”，该国决定关闭其驻阿斯马拉的大使馆。
In a statement, Ethiopia's Foreign Ministry said it has decided to close its embassy in Asmara in response to Eritrea's “direct and indirect acts of hostility and belligerence” against Ethiopia.
声明称，这10名厄立特里亚外交官参与了对埃塞俄比亚国家安全构成直接威胁的活动，违反了《维也纳外交关系公约》。这些外交官被勒令在48小时内离开埃塞俄比亚。
According to the statement, 10 Eritrean diplomats had been involved in activities that posed a direct threat to Ethiopia's national security, in breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The diplomats were ordered to leave Ethiopia within 48 hours.
该部呼吁厄立特里亚政府停止其所谓违背主权国家关系原则的行为。
The ministry called on the Eritrean government to cease what it described as acts contrary to the principles governing relations between sovereign states.
声明称：“埃塞俄比亚珍视与厄立特里亚深厚的历史、文化和民间纽带，并仍然致力于和平共处、地区稳定与一体化。”
“Ethiopia values its strong historical, cultural and people-to-people ties with Eritrea and remains committed to peaceful coexistence, regional stability and integration,” the statement said.
