It was a pleasure to meet Prime Minister @narendramodi and exchange views on strengthening the India–Ethiopia partnership in my first Official Visit to India.
Our discussions focused on enhancing defence cooperation, technology transfer, capacity building, mining, and our partnership towards COP32. These areas hold immense potential to deepen practical cooperation and create new opportunities for our peoples.
India and Ethiopia share deep historic ties, longstanding cultural connections, and strong bonds between our people. Yet, much of the potential between our two countries remains untapped. I believe the time is right to translate our shared history and goodwill into a more ambitious and mutually beneficial partnership which is grounded in technology, skills, investment, sustainable development, and stronger people-to-people ties.

I am pleased to participate in the 18th BRICS Summit in India, under the theme of building for resilience, innovation, cooperation and sustainability.
Across BRICS, we have capital, technology and markets. The opportunity is to bring them together, create more value, and ensure that value is generated where resources are found. Ethiopia is ready to build these partnerships across minerals, renewable energy and our growing industrial base.
We must also build resilience into our systems, ensure AI serves the needs of our continent, advance predictable debt resolution, and link climate action with economic transformation.
Together, BRICS can turn cooperation into shared value, resilience and sustainable growth.
