Glad to have valuable dialogue and engagement at the African Leaders and Partners Annual Forum held at the Ronald Reagan World Trade Center. The discussions focused on U.S.-Africa Investment and Trade relations in the global context and highlighted the demand for strengthened economic cooperation and strategic alignment between African countries and the U.S.

The African Diplomatic Corps colorfully celebrated Africa Day at the Smithsonian Museum of African Art. The turnout was remarkable. The Ethiopian Embassy took center stage, showcasing that the people of Africa are richly blessed with everything we need to thrive and flourish. Nothing should hinder us from achieving our full potential.
Happy belated Africa Day!

1/2. Ethiopia Has Decided!

Ethiopians from all walks of life came out in large numbers, stood in line for hours, cast their votes, and left their mark on the democratic progress of their beloved country, despite coordinated campaigns to belittle their democratic aspirations.

Ethiopia will hold its elections on June 1. With over 50 million registered voters, this event is one of the largest civic engagements in Africa. This election represents a significant step toward the democratic Ethiopia we all aspire to see. Ethiopia Decides-Ethiopia Wins!

It is with great pride and joy that we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of Ethiopian Airlines — the pride of Ethiopia and a vital bridge connecting Africa to the world — together with our American friends and partners.

The meeting between FM Gedion and Secretary Rubio provided an opportunity to discuss the long-lasting Ethio-US relations and regional issues of mutual interest. The outcome of this discussion was a strong commitment to build on this foundation for an even stronger partnership.

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.

Four Years of Sustained Effort and Measurable Progress!

It is truly an honor to witness the tangible realization of our national vision at this year's "Made in Ethiopia" Expo. Our results-driven governance is reflected in unprecedented industrial expansion, highlighted by average production capacity utilization soaring from 47% to 67%, the attraction of over 2,800 domestic and foreign direct investments over the past four years, and more than $4.85 billion in foreign exchange saved through import substitution in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal year alone.

This expo unites hundreds of dynamic enterprises and innovative startups from across the nation. By working together and sustaining this powerful momentum, we will build a resilient, industrialized, and self-reliant Ethiopia for generations to come.

We Were Great and We Shall Be Even Greater!

Our Embassy, in collaboration with the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), successfully hosted a Business Forum under the theme “Ethiopia: A New Frontier for Investment.” The forum brought together numerous American companies and proved to be highly productive.

Senior government officials in attendance delivered presentations and provided detailed responses to participants’ questions.

I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone involved.
