Addis Ababa Bole to welcome a new airline to its growing network!
We are delighted to announce that China Southern Airlines will begin flying to Addis Ababa from 12 October 2026.
The new twice-weekly service will operate on the route
Guangzhou – Changsha – Addis Ababa, using the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.
This addition is another clear signal of growing international confidence in Ethiopia as a key aviation gateway. As we continue to expand at Bole, the ongoing development of Bishoftu International Airport is set to unlock even greater capacity.
By the completion of its first phase, we expect more airlines to join the network, further strengthening Addis Ababa’s position as Africa’s premier hub connecting the continent with Asia, Europe, and beyond.
We look forward to welcoming China Southern’s passengers and crew, and to the many new connections still to come.
Welcome to the network, China Southern!

Former Nigerian President and African Union High Representative for the Horn of Africa H.E. Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, speaking at the launch of the National Dialogue, highlighted Ethiopia’s rich history, diversity, and resilient people, emphasizing that the success of the National Dialogue will be key to realizing the country’s shared aspirations for a brighter future.
#PMOEthiopia
At this critical moment in history, as Ethiopia prepares for its historic and momentous National Dialogue, I have an important and solemn appeal to all my fellow Ethiopians.
The beginning of tomorrow’s dialogue process is not merely an ordinary political forum. It is also the beginning of a new chapter in our history and one that will determine the destiny of both our generation and those to come, as well as our shared hopes for the future.
To all of you who are committed to securing lasting peace, stability, and comprehensive prosperity for our country, and who care deeply about Ethiopia’s greatness: the opportunity is here, and the time is now.
Just as our forefathers and foremothers fought at the Battle of Adwa with their blood and their lives for the freedom, sovereignty, and honor of our nation, today Ethiopia once again calls upon her sons and daughters who are ready to shoulder the responsibility entrusted to them by history. Yet in this moment, our country does not seek those who bear rifles. Rather, it seeks champions of peace and people equipped with maturity of thought, truth, knowledge, and steadfast determination.
Today, as in the past, we stand on the eve of the beginning of a great victory, because the triumph of Ethiopia and her peoples is inevitable. Through civilized discourse, peaceful dialogue, and national consensus, we will overcome all the challenges before us and, together, advance toward prosperity.
Today, on the eve of our historic National Dialogue, I received Ethiopia's dear friend H.E. Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ in my office to discuss the upcoming National Dialogue and to draw on his wisdom from such journeys, where he shared with us his experience leading the Biafra Peace process. This experience offers a great lesson for Ethiopia’s journey toward ensuring unity and lasting peace through dialogue.
Ethiopia remains profoundly grateful for your invaluable contributions!
#Ethiopia set to begin the much anticipated National Dialogue process tomorrow July 15th - onto a new chapter.
Dialogue is about discovering a deeper truth together. 🇪🇹
Today, we officially inaugurated the King Tekle Haymanot Airport, which the people of Debre Markos and the surrounding communities had eagerly awaited for many years. The airport, which had been out of service for nearly 30 years, has now been modernized, upgraded to a higher standard, and rebuilt.
Constructed with a 2,400-meter-long and 30-meter-wide runway, the airport now has the capacity to accommodate large passenger and cargo aircraft such as the Q400 and B737. The commencement of operations at this airport will significantly stimulate trade, investment, and tourism in the area, opening a new chapter for the economic growth of the area and our country as a whole.
By turning challenges into opportunities, we will continue to demonstrate our commitment through action—responding step by step to our people’s development needs and completing the mega projects we have launched with both quality and speed so they can be delivered for public use.
#CleanEthiopia
The Clean Ethiopia for Generations Campaign will run for three months across Ethiopia's two city administrations and all regional states. This campaign calls on every citizen to take responsibility for protecting our environment. Together, let us take action to keep our surroundings clean, safeguard our natural resources, and build a healthier, greener Ethiopia for current and future generations. Protecting the environment is a shared responsibility. Let us all do our part and make this campaign a success.
ETHIOPIA KEEPS DELIVERING!
Today, we inaugurated the Arba Minch Conference Resort, another magnificent outcome of our 'Dine for Generation' initiative. This modern resort features state-of-the-art infrastructure, including a conference hall capable of hosting over 1,300 people and a unique floating restaurant on the lake. It will strengthen our vision of making Ethiopia a hub for international forums by expanding conference tourism beyond our capital city, while creating vast employment opportunities for local residents.
I call upon all our citizens, the diaspora, and the international community to visit and experience this new jewel of our nation, and to take part in this new chapter of Ethiopia's tourism and conference sector!

For decades, state control kept Ethiopia isolated from global investment. HGER changed that.
HGER 1.0 delivered:
✅ $1B+ saved by ending wheat imports
✅ Telecom market opened to competition
HGER 2.0 is now delivering more, and the proof is clear: Ethiopia has issued its first-ever foreign investment banking license, already channeling capital, securing foreign currency, and creating quality jobs.

#Ethiopia welcomes the constructive engagement and meaningful progress achieved during the 64th Sessions of the UNFCCC Subsidiary Bodies in Bonn.
Ethiopia reaffirms its commitment to collaborating with all Parties and stakeholders. We look forward to supporting Türkiye, the incoming COP31 Presidency, and Australia, as the COP31 President of Negotiations, to deliver a successful and impactful outcome in Antalya.

Most people still talk about Africa as a future opportunity.
What I saw in Addis Ababa is something different.
The conversations were about AI, media, tourism, innovation, entrepreneurship, and global visibility. The talent is here. The momentum is here. The question is whether the world is paying attention.
Africa's rise is not a future prediction.
It is already underway.

I just came back from Ethiopia, and I was genuinely impressed. @Landoforigins
For 25+ years, I have helped build global visibility for some of the world’s most recognized names across entertainment, media, business, and culture, including Kim Kardashian, Logan Paul, Zendaya, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Priyanka Chopra, and Justin Bieber.
As someone who has travelled the world, and as both an American citizen and a UK citizen, I felt safe, welcomed, and inspired by Ethiopia’s hospitality, ambition, and forward-looking vision.
Today, I believe Ethiopia is the next big thing.
From Addis Ababa’s position as Africa’s diplomatic capital to Ethiopian Airlines’ global reach, the country has the history, people, infrastructure, tourism, energy, and investment potential to become one of Africa’s great success stories.
I am committed to using my global media platform, relationships, and storytelling experience to amplify Ethiopia to the world.
The Ethiopian Dream has begun.
