Addis Ababa offers cleaner living, lower costs, real opportunity, and a sense of safety many global cities struggle to match.

Sometimes the smartest move isn’t where the spotlight is — it’s where the future is being built. 🇪🇹

Ethiopia-India Partnership Deepening Across Key Strategic Sectors, Says India's Ambassador https://t.co/7CmRmJnO9R

[Dr Edvin Kollanoor @EdvinVarghese]

Dear @WilliamDalrymple, a small linguistic observation from Kerala. The inscription reading "Perumpatan" may actually be "Perum Thattan" (പെരും തട്ടാൻ). In Malayalam, "Thattan" means "goldsmith", while "Perum" means "great"—making the title "The Great Goldsmith." #History

Thank you, Your Excellency Prime Minister @narendramodi trusted friend and elder brother whose historic mandate speaks to the enduring democratic strength of the world's largest democracy. Ethiopia and India share bonds rooted in history, partnership, and shared ambition for our peoples.

We look forward to building on our Strategic Partnership and continuing this journey together!

Namaste | నమస్తే

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Heartiest congratulations to my friend, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali and the Prosperity Party for a decisive victory in the Ethiopian parliamentary elections.

India greatly cherishes its historic, multifaceted and deep-rooted ties with Ethiopia. I fondly recall my visit to Ethiopia last year and look forward to working closely together to further strengthen our Strategic Partnership and the bonds of friendship between our peoples.

International recognition for Ethiopia’s democratic progress!
EU Amb. Sofie From-Emmesberger and Indian Amb. Anil Kumar Rai praised it.
With PP securing a commanding mandate to form the next government, Ethiopia continues its march toward greater democratic consolidation.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

Today, at the 'Digital for Excellence' summit, we officially inaugurated the Unified MESOB Application, Africa's first unified digital service application that brings services from across institutions onto a single platform. This milestone is a source of immense national pride and a testament to what deliberate, focused investment in technology can deliver.

MESOB one-stop service is critical economic infrastructure. It saves citizens' time, closes corruption gaps, and strengthens institutional integrity on the government side. Above all, it stands as a clear demonstration that Ethiopia's ambitions are not wishes, they are realities we build with our own hands and our own capacity.

I call on us to consolidate this achievement, share this experience with our African brothers and sisters, and move forward with the determination to deliver even more!

WATCH: President Trump cracks a joke about America's commitment to defending India as long as Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still leading the country:

REPORTER: "Can you speak to the defense relationship between India and the United States?"

TRUMP: "If anybody attacks that man, we're going to be there. Now if there's a new leader, I'm not sure about it."

"If they're attacked and he's the leader, we're going to be there to help."

Had a very good meeting with my brother, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. We discussed India-UAE ties across sectors and ways to further energise our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. Once again expressed gratitude to him and the UAE Government for the care and concern for the Indian community living in the UAE.

PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw @nsitharaman @PiyushGoyal @FinMinIndia @RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah @amitmalviya

This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.

First thoughts:

1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.

2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.

We must keep these two ideas in mind.

What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?

We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.

Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.

Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Thank you Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali for your warm words.

I fondly recall our meeting in Ethiopia last year and look forward to continuing our close cooperation for the mutual benefit of our peoples and the Global South.
