Formal talks after two years of war between the Ethiopian federal forces and the northern region of Tigray opened in South Africa on Tuesday.
The African Union, as mediator, aims to broker an end to the conflict, which has killed thousands and displaced millions, putting a large section of the population on the brink of famine.
The dicussions are the highest-level effort yet aimed at bringing the violence to an end.
South Africa hopes "the talks will proceed constructively and result in a successful outcome that leads to peace for all the people of our dear sister country," Magwenya said.
