Good to see current US Admin finally recognize Ethiopia's geostrategic importance. US shouldn't choose between Egypt or Ethiopia, as both can be valued partners. If Ethiopia settles domestic problems its value grows exponentially!

I am excited to share that a high-level delegation, led by FM Gedion Themoteos, successfully concluded its engagements in the US. Our first comprehensive discussion, under the just-signed Bilateral Structured Dialogue Framework, demonstrated the Framework's promising potential.

Today, we were honored to have productive and wide-ranging meetings with the Ethiopian delegation, led by Foreign Minister Gedion Timotheos @GHessebon , for the U.S. Ethiopia Bilateral Structured Dialogue. We had constructive conversations about the Nile River and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam. We also discussed international efforts to facilitate a humanitarian truce and achieve durable peace in Sudan, as well as our shared commitment to promoting regional stability, including Red Sea maritime security. Today was also an important opportunity for discussions on bilateral economic and commercial issues, including promoting U.S. investments.
