As the COP32 host country, Ethiopia has embarked on early preparations through the formal establishment of the National Steering Committee. We have brought together key leadership to guide this process with clarity and purpose. The Presidency has already commenced its initial tasks, laying the foundation for what must be a coordinated and ambitious effort.
Today, I convened the National Steering Committee across sectors to assess progress made so far, identify gaps, and ensure that all efforts remain aligned with our national vision. This platform serves not only as a space for review, but also for collective direction-setting. Our focus is clear: to move forward cohesively, with strong coordination, unified ambition, and a shared commitment to excellence in hosting this global program.
The corridor development initiative has magnificently unveiled the inherent natural beauty of cities across #Ethiopia. #Hawassa city is a prime example in this regard.

I held a productive bilateral meeting with my counterpart, His Excellency Joseph Nyuma Boakai, President of the Republic of Liberia. The engagement provided a valuable opportunity to further strengthen and expand our longstanding partnership, particularly in the areas of peacekeeping, in sectors of mutual interest. Following the bilateral meeting, we also presided over the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs), underscoring the concrete commitment of our two nations to advancing shared priorities. These agreements serve as an important foundation for Ethiopia to share its experiences in rapid transformation with fellow African nations, while also learning from the diverse perspectives of our partners to foster sustainable, African-led solutions for the advancement of the continent as a whole.
Ethiopia knows how to harness wind and convert it into energy!
The Adama, Ashegoda, and Aysha wind power plants stand as living proof of this achievement. Our work will not stop until the country gets the alternative energy it deserves; today, we have made the Asella wind power project a reality and are fully prepared to continue with the next one!

The Next Ray of Hope!
From our determined efforts to break the darkness through wind energy, Ethiopia has steadily advanced as we proudly inaugurate the Assela Wind Farm today. This project adds 100 megawatts of clean energy, strengthening our path toward a diversified and sustainable energy future, a true testament to our commitment to reliable energy supply and a more prosperous Ethiopia.
Ethiopiaโs progress across all sectors will continue to advance and flourish as the time when we will be greater than ever before is not far off!

Today, we launch a state-of-the-art research complex that marks a new chapter in the scientific ecosystem of Ethiopia and Africa. Built within the Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI), this modern facility goes beyond infrastructure. It is a center of excellence dedicated to advancing a self-sustaining and healthy future for Ethiopia.
The complex includes 40 laboratories, advanced genomics and bioinformatics platforms, and a bioequivalence center that will certify the quality and efficacy of medicines produced locally and also a foundation of resilience health emergency preparedness and response. By transforming research into policy and innovation into practical solutions, this center represents a major step toward achieving self-sufficiency in pharmaceutical production, and for sustainable health security and most importantly building on the progress we have made toward independence in other key sectors.
