Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia in #Nairobi and Permanent Representative to @UNEP and @UNHABITAT
Our comprehensive efforts to sustainably ensure our country's peace and security have reached a new milestone today. The state of readiness being built within Ethiopia's defense forces is endowing the nation with the capability to preemptively deter aggression.
In accordance with our prior agreement with the Russian government, we have today taken delivery of the first twelve Su-35 4++ Generation fighter jets. Additionally, Ethiopia will receive four S-400 air defense system batteries.
I would like to express my gratitude to my friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his dedication in ensuring we received these warplanes a year ahead of our agreed schedule. By equipping itself with these fighter jets, Ethiopia has taken the lead among Sub-Saharan African nations.
This historic achievement further strengthens our nation's sovereignty, and it will serve as a massive capability boost that allows us to confidently continue our journey toward ensuring our collective security and regional stability in the future.
Heartfelt congratulations to our beloved Prime Minister, H.E. Abiy Ahmed Ali, on the commencement of your second term in office.
Your journey has been marked by significant challenges and demanding responsibilities, requiring perseverance, determination, and steadfast leadership. As you begin this new term, may it usher in a new chapter of peace, unity, prosperity, and sustainable progress for Ethiopia.
I wish Your Excellency continued strength, wisdom, and success as you carry forward the responsibility of serving our great nation and its people.
“The future of Africa is something that we shall have to build together,” - Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
A historic day and a massive leap forward for infrastructure & continental integration as H.E. PM Abiy Ahmed (PhD) joins regional leaders for the ground-breaking of the Dangote East Africa Refinery in Lamu, Kenya.
LAPSSET once again is proving to be the ultimate arterial corridor transforming regional energy networks, port connectivity, and shared industrial trade corridors across East Africa.
This is Pan-Africanism in action, building our own industrial self-reliance!

I am deeply pleased that the official ceremony for the Provisional Acceptance of the FDRE Embassy's diplomatic residence and multipurpose office complex in Nairobi took place today. This grand project was envisioned and initiated prior to 2022 through the initiative and proposal of our Honorable Prime Minister H.E Abiy Ahmed Ali (PhD).
Executed over the past two years by Nanchang Foreign Engineering Company, the project has successfully reached 95% physical completion, enabling this provisional handover in accordance with our contractual agreement. We are currently preparing to fully complete the remaining finishing tasks alongside the consulting firm.
My heartfelt gratitude goes out to all the stakeholders who contributed to this success!
