Today, I attended the 2nd African Political Parties Summit and delivered remarks under the theme “Governing for Growth.” We take great pride that Addis Ababa, capital of Africa, is hosting this important continental gathering.

Guided by Medemer, unity, accountability and inclusive governance are essential to ensuring that political leadership improves people’s lives. This requires parties to look beyond electoral competition, build consensus on long-term national priorities that transcend changes in government, and work together in the national interest.

Equally important is investing in the next generation of leaders by giving them responsibilities and opportunities to grow. Through the African Leadership Excellence Academy, Ethiopia is opening its training to political parties across the continent.

Our responsibility to build a better future for our people shall continue!

At a high-level national forum organised by the Ministry of National Strategy, Ethiopia today launched its rebased GDP series, with 2017 EFY (2024/25) as the new base year.

While Ethiopia has published official GDP figures since 1960, the previous series, based on 2008 EFY (2015/16), no longer captured the economy’s structural transformation, sectoral expansion and emerging activities such as digital finance and services.

The new series draws on recent national Agriculture and Economic Establishment Censuses, the Integrated Household Survey and administrative records. For the first time, it also incorporates data from federal and regional state-owned enterprises and non-profit institutions serving households (NPISH).

Key results of include:

2017 EFY GDP: ETB 24.03 trillion (USD 201.4 billion).
59.2% larger than previously estimated.
2018 EFY GDP: USD 210.7 billion.
Ethiopia now ranks as Africa’s 5th and Sub-Saharan Africa’s 3rd largest economy.

The rebasing provides internationally comparable statistics, strengthens investor, rating agency and development partner confidence, and offers a more robust evidence base for fiscal policy, budgeting and development planning.

Congratulations to the leaders and experts whose dedication and hard work over the past year made this nationally significant achievement possible.

[Office of the Prime Minister - Ethiopia @PMEthiopia]

The world knows Ethiopia by name, but its full story remains to be told. Today, we tell it in our own voice, in our own words. Ethiopia’s official Nation Brand website is now live.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, sharing with the world a gift rooted in its forests. It is a land where some of humanity’s earliest ancestors lived, leaving traces of our shared origins. Through the Green Legacy Initiative, its people are restoring the land, one seedling at a time. Its rivers, winds, and sunshine are harnessed to power progress and bring light beyond its borders. Its cities are transforming, with Addis Ababa, Africa’s New Flower, at the heart of this renewal. Here, Africa comes together. In Ethiopia, the shared pride, courage, and aspirations of African peoples converge in the enduring spirit of Pan-African unity. Its ancient civilization lives on in stone, script, song, and delivering projects. And its runners carry a legacy of excellence from one generation to the next, shining on the world’s greatest stages.

On the historic road to #COP32, Ethiopia shares its sovereignty, heritage, discoveries, and hope with the world, from origins to a bold future. Discover Ethiopia, discover where it all began.

I am delighted to address the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow. To ensure the historic decisions made here yield tangible results, our collective commitment and cooperation are vital.

Ethiopia remains focused on three pillars crucial to our national development and sustainable prosperity: food security and productivity, reliable energy supply, and skills and knowledge transfer.

Our diplomatic ties with Russia span over a century, rooted in mutual respect and shared benefits. To elevate this historic friendship, we are decisively collaborating with Russia to construct a world-class nuclear power plant. This strategic partnership will diversify our energy options, accelerate Ethiopia’s prosperity, and strengthen our bilateral bond more than ever.

I met and had discussions with H.E. Ambassador Guang Cong Special Envoy of the UN Secretary Geneal for the Horn of Africa. Our discussions focused on the conflict in Sudan, coming elections in South Sudan, Somalia and more importantly on the situation in Tigray. I briefed the Special Envoy on the developments that unfolded since the 23rd of September and potential role for the UN in supporting the newly established Caretaker Administration especially in areas related to strengthening rehabilitation efforts, expediting humanitarian aid and return of IDPs. I also underlined the need for the international community to be mindful of the destructive role the Regime in Asmara had and continues to have in destabilizing the entire region and Ethiopia in particular. Ambassador Cong on his part promised to do all he can for the UN to play a meaningful role in ensuring peace and stability in the region.

Today, I had the honour of attending Mashujaa Day in Eldoret, Kenya, where I delivered remarks paying tribute to the heroes who fought for freedom and those who made the ultimate sacrifices to safeguard their nation. I honour their courage and legacy!

Kenya’s history of courage and sacrifice resonates deeply with Ethiopia’s own story of Adwa, where Ethiopians from every corner of the country united to defend their homeland. These shared histories remind us that freedom was never given; it was won through courage, unity, and sacrifice.

As our histories are intertwined, so too must our futures be. Through the spirit of Medemer, Ethiopia and Kenya must continue building on our existing cooperation in clean energy, connectivity, telecommunications, and trade to create greater opportunities and shared prosperity for our people.

To all those honoured today, I salute you. Happy Mashujaa Day!

Standing for the nation begins with small acts of courage and requires working toward a vision that goes beyond ourselves.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

The 19th National Flag Day

“Our Flag for National Consensus and Unity”

National unity is the foundation of Ethiopia’s path to prosperity. Our national flag symbolizes our shared history, sovereignty, and the strength we draw from standing together in our diversity.

At Adwa, people from all parts of the country put aside their differences and stood together, capturing the attention of the world. Rather than being divided by adversity, our ancestors demonstrated the power of unity. The call to stand together has never ceased, and each generation must choose how it will respond.

Medemer poses a simple question to us all: Are we merely spectators watching our nation’s destiny from the sidelines, or are we owners who can say, “This is my country, and its future is of concern to me”?

Our languages, religions, and identities are strands of a single fabric, woven together through centuries of shared history. Standing for the nation begins with small acts of courage and requires working toward a vision that goes beyond ourselves.

The generations before us made sacrifices so that we could inherit this country. Today, we must strengthen it together and pass it on to the generations to come..

Therefore, ask yourself today: What will you contribute to the unity and prosperity of your country?

The National Precious Metals Refinery, constructed within the Bole Lemi Special Economic Zone, has the capacity to serve not only Ethiopia but also the broader East African and pan-African markets. By providing internationally credible refining and testing services, it enables neighboring countries and regional mining companies to bring their gold to Ethiopia for advanced refining, certification, value addition, and sale, eliminating the need to export it outside the continent.

From resource extraction to industrial transformation, we are creating greater value at home.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

I am proud to announce the launch of the National Precious Metals Refinery at Bole Lemi Special Economic Zone, established through a partnership between Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH) and Sam Precious Metals.

With a capacity to process over 600 tonnes of precious metals annually, the refinery marks a major milestone in advancing domestic value addition, strengthening Ethiopia’s mining sector, and positioning our country as a regional hub for precious-metals refining.

This initiative reflects the Medemer government’s commitment to linking our productive resources with industrial capacity—boosting export earnings, creating skilled jobs, supporting the jewellery industry, and building a more transparent and competitive gold value chain.

From resource extraction to industrial transformation, we are creating greater value at home.
