List of diplomatic missions of Eritrea

Diplomatic missions of Eritrea

This is a list of diplomatic missions of Eritrea. Eritrea is a comparatively young country that has tense relations with some of its neighbours, especially Ethiopia. Eritrea has relatively good relations with Djibouti and improving relations with Sudan and Yemen. It has a limited number of diplomatic missions around the world.

In 2007, the Eritrean government was ordered by the United States Department of State to shut down the consulate-general in Oakland, California which served a community of 7,000 in the San Francisco Bay Area; many Eritreans said that this would be a hardship to them. This action was in retaliation for restrictions imposed by the Eritrean government on the travel of US diplomats in Eritrea, interference with the diplomatic pouch and the inability to provide consular services to U.S. citizens in Eritrea.[1]
