Supporting trade and investment is a priority for @UKinEthiopia.

It was great to discuss with 🇬🇧 businesses what they need to succeed in 🇪🇹 at our British Business Forum.

The UK-Ethiopia partnership creates jobs and growth in both Ethiopia and the UK.

[UK in Ethiopia 🇬🇧 @UKinEthiopia]

Delighted to welcome UK businesses to Ethiopia, including those exploring opportunities ahead of #COP32

Stronger trade, investment and climate collaboration will help drive sustainable growth in both our countries

[UK in Ethiopia 🇬🇧 @UKinEthiopia]

The UK is providing £8 million in humanitarian funding to support people affected by drought and conflict in northern Ethiopia

Through @RESCUEorg and @ICRC, this funding will help deliver life-saving assistance including cash and medical supplies to those most in need

[Amanda McLoughlin @AmandMcLoughlin]

Supporting Ethiopia’s bold economic transformation is central to the UK’s development partnership with the country - much can be achieved when we work together 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 🇪🇹 🇬🇧

I'm sad and angry about the killing of 🇪🇹 Red Cross ambulance driver Mulugeta Andualem, who was supporting the community in Metekel.

My condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Humanitarian workers must be allowed to carry out their life saving work without fear.

The UK is greatly concerned by the escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea.

We call on all parties to respect the territorial integrity of states and avoid any actions that could further escalate tensions.

A pleasure to thank Ethiopian Airlines document checkers for their work:

🫆Protecting Africa’s biggest aviation hub from criminals.

🛂Ensuring that only people allowed to enter board flights to the UK.

🇬🇧 🇪🇹 collaboration protecting both 🇪🇹 and 🇬🇧

Congratulations to Project Harar on 25 remarkable years helping children suffering from congenital birth defects.

Over 13,500 families supported across Ethiopia.

Over 13,000 healthcare workers trained.

A great example of what happens when 🇬🇧 and 🇪🇹 work together.

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

I am horrified by the death of 139 #migrants, including 15 children, many #Ethiopian, in a boat which capsized in the Red Sea.

Once again people smugglers don’t care about the lives of those they traffic.

🇬🇧 is working with 🇪🇹 to go after the gangs exploiting desperate people.

[IOM - UN Migration 🇺🇳 @UNmigration]

At least 109 migrants, including 15 children, have died and over 116 remain missing after a boat capsized off #Djibouti.

IOM is assisting survivors as search and rescue operations continue.

The UK is steadfast in its support for #Ukraine. Borders must not be changed by force.

I was saddened but proud to sign the condolences book at @UKRinETH, following this week’s brutal attacks, which killed 25 innocent civilians.

We are with you for as long as it takes.

📚 Great to join @BritishCouncil & @Literacy_Trust's Guinness World Record attempt for the most number of people reading around the 🌍

A great opportunity to take ten minutes to re-read part of Jane Eyre - one of my favourite 🇬🇧 novels.

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

On the night shift with our brilliant @ukhomeoffice team in Addis Ababa checking for fraudulent documents to prevent illegal #migration and keep our borders secure.

Thank you to our #Ethiopian partners for the strong collaboration!

The people of Ethiopia cannot afford a return to war. We condemn attacks by the Tigray Defence Forces and call for an immediate deescalation.

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

Big thank you to Addis Ababa’s phenomenally talented cultural ambassadors and the Addis Ababa Tourism Commission for visiting the British Embassy this morning to offer 🇪🇹 New Year blessings.

A beautiful display of #Ethiopian #culture.

Melkam #Enkutatash! Melkam Addis Amet!

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

Today I welcomed the UK’s @wto negotiating team for our next round of negotiations on #Ethiopia’s #WTO accession.

Great to hear from British businesses on their priorities for negotiations to support investment.

Together we are delivering #jobs and #growth in 🇬🇧 and 🇪🇹.

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

I had a fantastic time in #Oromia region, talking to community leaders about their plans to harness the #tourism potential of beautiful Lake #Langano in ways that benefit local communities.

Just a shame I couldn’t stay for the weekend!

@VisitOromia @pr_mot_ET

[Luke Bullock @LukeBullock]

Great to visit #Oromia State University to encourage the brightest and best students across 🇪🇹 to apply for @CheveningFCDO: the 🇬🇧 scholarship connecting #FutureLeaders with the UK’s world-leading universities.

You have until 6 October to apply. Will you be #ChosenforChevening?
