Eritrea's economic future will not be determined by diplomatic announcements, summits, visits and meetings. The real test is whether regional peace, economic cooperation and functioning commercial institutions can turn strategic opportunities into sustained development and investment.
The Question Behind the Diplomacy

But geography is not an economic strategy. Resources alone do not guarantee investment.
