I congratulate my elder brother and dear friend H.E @narendramodi on the historic milestone of leading India with vision and determination across three consecutive democratic mandates as India’s longest serving Prime Minister, earning the sustained trust of the world's largest and most vibrant democracy. His governance has lifted millions out of poverty, rolled out digital public infrastructure at population scale, and driven unprecedented infrastructure growth resulting in rapid economic progress. He has been a strong and sustained voice of the Global South.

Following our Council of Ministers meeting we visited a housing development demonstration site featuring construction that is both exceptionally modern and driven by highly accelerated technology. On this single site, three modern construction methods were simultaneously deployed: 3D printing, light steel prefabrication, and container housing. Each stands as living proof that premium-quality homes can be delivered in a matter of days and weeks, rather than months and years, demonstrating that speed and quality no longer need to be compromised when the right technology is embraced.

This caliber of innovation has the power to fundamentally alter the trajectory of our national housing program, offering a model that can easily be deployed, replicated, and scaled across every corner of the country. We have seamlessly aligned advanced technology with our national vision. Today serves as tangible proof that we are moving decisively in the right direction!

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.

This morning, following yesterday’s 7th General Election, we officially opened the transformative Entoto to Kechene Medhanealem Riverside Development Project.

This landmark initiative has revitalized the heart of our capital, transforming once-degraded landscapes into vibrant green spaces through advanced soil conservation, river purification, and fruit parks seamlessly integrated with pedestrian and cycling trails.

Spanning a total riverside development corridor of 22.25 kilometers, the project stands as a tangible symbol of our progress and a practical demonstration of national growth, environmental restoration, and urban renewal.

As part of our industrialization journey and a major milestone in advancing the “Made in Ethiopia” initiative, the inauguration of the Grandeur Ceramic Factory constructed in Mojo town this morning stands as a practical demonstration that our movement will steadily expand across the country attracting international investments.

The factory will supply ceramic products that meet international standards of quality and competitiveness, while sourcing more than 80 percent of its raw materials locally. Beyond strengthening Ethiopia’s capacity to harness its own natural resources and potential, this achievement will significantly reduce dependence on imported goods.

I held a fruitful bilateral meeting with President Daniel Francisco Chapo of Mozambique, marking the beginning of a long-lasting and tangible partnership.
