Ethiopia is not retreating from its maritime agenda—it is redefining it.
Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos has shifted the debate from sovereignty and confrontation to development, connectivity, and regional prosperity. The objective remains sea access. The strategy is becoming harder to oppose.

I had a constructive meeting with Mohamed Abdi Ware, Deputy Executive Secretary General, to discuss ways of enhancing the role of Intergovernmental Authority on Development in the region and reaffirm Ethiopia’s continued support for its mission. Our discussions centered on strengthening cooperation to promote regional peace and stability, while also advancing greater integration among member states.

Ethiopia remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting IGAD’s initiatives aimed at fostering economic cooperation, social cohesion, sustainable regional development and peace and security for the benefit of all member countries.

As the rainy season arrives, the hand of kindness we extend to our people grows longer with it. Today, we officially launched this year's rainy season volunteer campaign in South West Shewa Zone, Goro District, Gurura Village, where 20 homes will be built per our rural corridor initiative design.

It is only when we extend a hand to one another that we lift our country together, which is why I urge every Ethiopian to join this effort!

ፕሮጄክቱ ሙሉ ለሙሉ ሲጠናቅ በዓመት 110 ሚልዮን መንገደኞችን የማስተናገድ አቅም ያለው ሲሆን አገራችንን በአለም አቀፍ ደረጃ ቀዳሚ ከሆኑት የአየር ትራፊክ መናህሪያዎች ያሰልፉታል።

ፕሮጄክቱ በርካታ ኢኮኖሚያዊና ማህበራዊ ትሩፉቶች ያአሉት ሲሆን የአገራችንን እለምአቀፉዊ ቁመናም ከፍ ያደርጋል።

Under the steadfast leadership and continuous oversight of H.E. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD), construction of the Bishoftu International Airport—set to be Africa’s largest—is progressing rapidly. This mega-project perfectly aligns with Ethiopia's development path and the global stature of our world-renowned national carrier @flyethiopian.

Upon full completion, the mega-hub will accommodate 110 million passengers annually, positioning our nation among the world's leading aviation gateways.

This landmark project will deliver immense economic and social benefits while significantly elevating Ethiopia's global standing.

I was honored to lead a constructive discussion aimed at enhancing private sector participation in international and continental summits and conferences to be hosted in Our Country-Ethiopia.

The meeting brought together private transport investors in order to focus on establishing adequate, reliable, and high-quality transport services during major events we host in Addis Ababa. Such collaborative efforts are essential for building a positive national image and fostering sustainable, long-term capacity within our transport sector.

Beyond their profound diplomatic significance, such major international summits and conferences play a pivotal role in boosting tourism and driving the national economy. Recognizing this, our Ministry—in close coordination with the Ministry of Transport and Logistics and other key stakeholders—will continue to provide the necessary support to ensure private investors play a leading role in the transport and logistics landscape.

I was pleased to witness the signing of the MoU between Ethiopia’s Federal Housing Corporation and the Government of Central Equatoria State.

What stood out to me was not just the agreement itself, but what it represents. Ethiopia and South Sudan have long-standing ties, and this is another practical step in turning that relationship into tangible results through housing, infrastructure, and urban development.

As an Ethiopian, I take particular pride in seeing one of our national institutions bring its experience beyond our borders. There is something encouraging about watching Ethiopian expertise earn trust and find relevance in shaping development across the region.

My appreciation to Dr. Rashad Kemal, CEO of the Federal Housing Corporation, and Governor Emmanuel Adil for their leadership in bringing this partnership to life. The work ahead in Juba is significant, and this agreement provides a solid foundation to begin.

We successfully organized an awareness-raising forum on the Digital Ethiopia 2030 Strategy and the implementation of digital transformation at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The forum was held in collaboration with the Institute of Foreign Affairs and colleagues from the Office of the Prime Minister have made insightful deliberations on the Digital Ethiopia Strategy 2030.

During the session, constructive discussions took place on the critical importance of building strong digital capacity in Ethiopia in order to remain an integral part of today’s increasingly competitive global environment. The session brought together senior officials and staff from our Ministry, the institute of Foreign Affairs and the Ethiopian Diaspora Agency.

Under the framework of our Ministry’s three-year Institutional Reform Program (2018–2020 E.C.), we have successfully implemented key digital initiatives, including: Document Management System, Smart Office system, Online document authentication and Power of Attorney services that will have considerable contribution to the realization of the Digital Ethiopia 2030 Strategy. Forums like this play a vital role in further strengthening our institutional capacity and readiness for digital transformation.

Pleased to meet with former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and his team. We are grateful to the 73-member African Union Election Observation Mission, led by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, for its service and contribution to our democracy building process.

African institutions play a central role in ensuring that democratic processes are grounded in regional context and experience. We recognise and appreciate the tireless efforts of the electoral observers, who deployed teams across the country to support our electoral process and look forward to the outcomes.

Addis Ababa’s Riverside Development is far more than a riverbank beautification project. From the Entoto to Peacock corridor to the Entoto–Kebena stretch, this is a large-scale urban transformation that extends up to 50 meters beyond the rivers, creating green corridors, public gathering spaces, walkable areas, recreation zones, and commercial spaces that are reshaping the city itself.

What makes the project especially significant is its broader economic and social impact. Beyond improving the appearance and function of the riversides, it has created jobs for many people across construction, engineering, landscaping, logistics, and related sectors, while also generating opportunities for local contractors, suppliers, and businesses. The fact that so much of the work is being designed and delivered locally highlights the growing capacity of Ethiopian expertise in urban development and infrastructure.

The sustainability aspect is equally important. Once dumping grounds for toxic waste and flood hazards affecting communities along the riverbanks, these areas are now being transformed into greener, healthier, and more liveable urban spaces. At the same time, the integration of commercial and public spaces demonstrates how environmental restoration and economic growth can work together rather than compete with one another.

This is a long-term investment in the future of Addis Ababa as a greener, more connected, economically vibrant, and people-centered city.

I am delighted to welcome the Finnish delegation, headed by Outi Holopainen, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Security Policy, to Addis Ababa for the Ethiopia–Finland political consultations, taking place after a 17-year hiatus. Ethiopia and Finland enjoy a longstanding partnership founded on mutual respect, trust, and many years of cooperation in areas such as education, development, water and sanitation, and rural transformation. Ethiopia deeply values Finland as a dependable and trusted partner and remains committed to further enhancing collaboration in innovation, education, and sustainable development.
As Ethiopia continues to pursue reform and peacebuilding initiatives, we look forward to expanding engagement with Finnish institutions and businesses, particularly in digital transformation, renewable energy, water resource management, and educational technology.
