Presentation III | Strategic Dialogue

“Ethiopia–EU cooperation on critical raw materials must move beyond shared interests towards concrete, investment-ready projects. Success requires credible geological data, commercially viable processing, access to finance and stronger partnerships that support Ethiopia’s industrial development and local value addition”

Dr. Žygimantas Juška, Programme Officer, Critical Raw Materials, European Commission (DG INTPA)

Sudan, Somalia, the Houthis, al-Shabaab and the race for the Red Sea are one strategic problem, not separate crises. @_politicsaddict for MEF Observer: a lasting U.S. strategy for the Horn has to be anchored in Ethiopia, a country of 130 million.

[The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ethiopia 🇪🇹 @MFAEthiopia]

Ethiopia, as a founding member of the United Nations attaches great importance to the office of the UN Secretary-General. Ethiopia therefore welcomes the candidacy of @Lana_Nusseibeh. Her distinguished service, strong commitment to multilateralism, and extensive diplomatic experience further strengthen an already impressive field of women candidates.

[Office of the Prime Minister - Ethiopia @PMEthiopia]

The world knows Ethiopia by name, but its full story remains to be told. Today, we tell it in our own voice, in our own words. Ethiopia’s official Nation Brand website is now live.

Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, sharing with the world a gift rooted in its forests. It is a land where some of humanity’s earliest ancestors lived, leaving traces of our shared origins. Through the Green Legacy Initiative, its people are restoring the land, one seedling at a time. Its rivers, winds, and sunshine are harnessed to power progress and bring light beyond its borders. Its cities are transforming, with Addis Ababa, Africa’s New Flower, at the heart of this renewal. Here, Africa comes together. In Ethiopia, the shared pride, courage, and aspirations of African peoples converge in the enduring spirit of Pan-African unity. Its ancient civilization lives on in stone, script, song, and delivering projects. And its runners carry a legacy of excellence from one generation to the next, shining on the world’s greatest stages.

On the historic road to #COP32, Ethiopia shares its sovereignty, heritage, discoveries, and hope with the world, from origins to a bold future. Discover Ethiopia, discover where it all began.

Ethiopia, Land of Origins 🇪🇹
