In summary, the participation of Eritrean representatives at the recent workshop in China reaffirms the nation’s commitment to economic, social, and cultural rights as fundamental components of its governance. By framing these rights within the context of national development and social justice, Eritrea underscores its proactive stance in promoting human rights internationally. The dialogues initiated during this workshop are expected to foster stronger international collaboration on human rights issues.
