State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Hadera Abera, today addressed the Conference for Africa’s Commemoration of the 40th Anniversary of the United Nations Declaration on the Right to Development, delivering a keynote address at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa.

In his address, Ambassador Hadera highlighted Ethiopia’s development achievements under the Homegrown Economic Reform Agenda, particularly in food security, environmental sustainability, and energy development. He cited the country’s wheat production, the Green Legacy Initiative, and the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam as notable examples of national self-reliance and the practical realization of the right to development.

He also underscored the structural challenges facing African countries, including unsustainable debt burdens, inequalities in the global financial system, and climate change, calling for stronger international solidarity, equitable access to finance, and enhanced partnerships to advance Africa’s development aspirations.

Held under the theme “From Resilience to Sustainable Prosperity,” the three-day conference brings together African and international stakeholders to reflect on progress made over the past four decades and explore ways to advance the right to development across the continent.

On the sidelines of the 3rd Russia-Africa Summit, we have signed three important bilateral agreements between Ethiopia and Russia: the Intergovernmental Agreement on Dejazmach Balcha Hospital, the Memorandum of Understanding between the Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) and ITAR-TASS, and the MoU between ENA and Russia Today (RT).

The agreement on the renovation of Balcha Hospital in Addis Ababa underscores our shared commitment to modernizing healthcare and improving service delivery.

These agreements mark an important milestone in strengthening the longstanding Ethiopia-Russia partnership and translating our shared commitments into tangible outcomes.

The Dejazmach Balcha Hospital officially the Russian Red Cross Hospital named after Dejazmatch Balcha traces its roots to July 1896, when a Russian Red Cross team arrived in Addis Ababa after the Battle of Adwa, leading to the opening of the first modern Russian medical facility in Ethiopia in 1897, which later reopened and reestablished itself in 1947.

Today, I am thrilled to announce that the first 26 city buses have been converted from fuel to natural gas and are now in service.

Over the past few months, we have successfully managed the logistics of transporting local natural gas to Addis Ababa, establishing fueling stations, and retrofitting buses. This historic milestone slashes foreign currency spending on fuel, cuts public transit operational costs, and reduces passenger fares by half.

Performing these conversions locally also proves our growing domestic capacity and technology transfer.
To completely eliminate fuel dependency, 400 new natural gas buses will arrive soon. We will continue our momentum to bring tangible, lasting improvements to our citizens' lives across the food, housing, and transport sectors.

Ethiopia is the sole candidate from Africa for membership in the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), reflecting the confidence placed in its longstanding contributions to international civil aviation and its commitment to advancing Africa’s interests in global aviation governance. As a founding member of ICAO and the African Civil Aviation Commission (AFCAC), Ethiopia brings decades of institutional experience, technical expertise, and a strong record of aviation safety, security, and capacity building.

Strategically positioned to connect Africa with Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Ethiopia continues to strengthen global connectivity through Ethiopian Airlines, extensive air services, and world-class aviation training, maintenance, and cargo capabilities. As a Council member, Ethiopia pledges to advance ICAO’s objectives, promote safer and more secure aviation, strengthen international cooperation, and support the “No Country Left Behind” initiative to ensure that all countries benefit from sustainable aviation development.

The Ethiopia–Russia Bilateral Meeting; Elevating Longstanding Relations!

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

I held a fruitful bilateral meeting with President Vladimir Putin to discuss avenues for further strengthening the longstanding relations between Ethiopia and Russia. Our discussions addressed cooperation in nuclear energy, health, and trade, as well as bilateral and multilateral matters of mutual interest. I also personally presented President Putin with the Russian edition of my book, Medemer, reflecting our shared commitment to dialogue, mutual understanding, and the continued advancement of Ethiopia–Russia relations.

ታላቅ ሃገር ነን፣ታሪካዊ ሃገር ነን፤ በዚያው ልክ አቅም መገንባትና ዝግጅት ያስፈልጋል!

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

Today, the Medemer Book was launched in its Russian translation. I am immensely proud to have attended this historic event, which proves that the Medemer philosophy, born from Ethiopian indigenous knowledge, has crossed borders to achieve global impact.

Having already been translated into English, Chinese, and Arabic, its expansion into the Russian-speaking world strengthens its international reach and diplomatic value. This milestone demonstrates that Ethiopia contributes mature, sophisticated ideas to the global community. Just as Russia has long inspired Ethiopian scholars, this marks a complete, mutual exchange of knowledge.

I deeply appreciate the media professionals and leadership at Russia Today (RT) for their dedication to this project. This new chapter will build a powerful cultural and intellectual bridge between our peoples.
