It was a pleasure to meet with Mr. Sergey Lavrov, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, and his delegation this evening, during which our discussions focused on bilateral relations and exploring new opportunities for cooperation.
The modern Hamasa Model Village, built on 79.4 hectares of land as part of the Rural Corridor Development Program, was officially inaugurated today.
The village is equipped with modern sanitation facilities, livestock shelters, vegetable gardens, biogas systems, and beehives, all designed to improve farmers’ livelihoods and productivity. These integrated amenities ensure comprehensive prosperity and a better quality of life for the residents.
This model village is a tangible result of our reform efforts, elevating the dignity, comfort, and economic well-being of rural communities to a higher level.

Strengthening domestic production through our own capabilities is the foundation of our economic independence and our sovereignty.
Today, we visited the Yo Holding charcoal factory in the Gamo Zone, which began operations last year. By supplying the needs of our industries with locally produced products, the factory has replaced imports and reduced the need for foreign products. It has also created employment opportunities for local residents.
Our journey to develop our country’s natural resources through hard work and domestic investment will continue with renewed determination. In doing so, we will strengthen our economic sovereignty.
Today, we inaugurated the Entoto-Kebena River & Riverside Development, 87.6 hectares, 10.5 km of riverside transformation featuring flood protection, modern bridges, and expansive green spaces, making Addis Ababa a climate-resilient, world-class capital.
We remain committed to building a city our people deserve!
