Eight years of consistent action. The Green Legacy Initiative continues to grow stronger, driven by public commitment and the shared belief that, together, Ethiopians can nurture a greener, more sustainable future. Today marks our annual nationwide one-day planting effort which is a moment when Ethiopians from all walks of life come together to create a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Alongside First Lady Zinash Tayachew and the COP32 National Steering Commitee, we have planted our contribution and added our mark to this collective journey. We call on all Ethiopians across the country to continue their efforts throughout the day as we work together to achieve our ambitious target of 800 million seedlings planted.
The #GreenLegacyInitiative beyond its foundational role in climate action, is now delivering real gains in Ethiopia's honey production. By protecting our natural environment, forests are expanding, and with them, the habitat and food sources that sustain bee populations and boost honey harvests.

The people of Ethiopia are an extraordinary and remarkable people. Other than the Creator, who can truly know and assess our people in their entirety? Through this yearβs election, Ethiopians have once again shown the world that they are a people with a rich culture, deep patriotism, and the ability to safeguard the common good.
On this historic day:
* Citizens who were not intimidated by the cold and darkness of the night,
* Who were not deterred by the midday sun or sudden rain,
* Whom weddings, funerals, childbirth, and other social obligations did not prevent from participating,
* Who were not wearied by long lines,
* Whose physical disabilities did not stop them from casting their vote,
* Those whose illness and old age did not prevent from witnessing the hope of their country,
* Who were not exhausted by carrying their infant children; the future inheritors of the nation,
* And above all, whom the shouting and threats of enemies could not intimidate or stop;
The perseverance you demonstrated amid many challenges and hardships, against all odds, was a contribution made for democracy and for the very survival of the nation. For this, you deserve heartfelt gratitude.
It is a privilege to serve such a people. Therefore, may those who have been elected honor the trust placed in them and serve this people, with integrity and sincerity! A people who have paid a great price for the democratic system. May you be worthy of that responsibility.

In Djibouti today to attend the inauguration ceremony of President-elect IsmaΓ―l Omar Guelleh @IsmailOguelleh. I extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes on his leadership and service to the people of Djibouti. May the longstanding friendship and strategic partnership between Ethiopia and Djibouti continue to grow stronger for the mutual prosperity of our peoples and the peace and stability of our region.
This morning, I visited the Gobeze Solar Cell manufacturing plant located in the Huajian Special Economic Zone in Addis Ababa. The factory was established based on an agreement signed during the 2025 Invest in Ethiopia Forum, with an initial phase investment of 100 million dollars.
With effective support and close follow-up, the βGobeze Solar Cellβ manufacturing plant became operational in just six months. It is equipped with modern machinery and technology. The factory has also created job opportunities for many citizens. In its first phase, the factory has an annual production capacity of 2 gigawatts, contributing additional capacity toward realizing Ethiopiaβs national vision of fully meeting its energy demand through renewable sources.
In addition, we also visited a shoe manufacturing factory and a substation located within the industrial park.
Once a neglected and hazardous area, the Arada district has been reimagined into a magnificent urban sanctuary.
For us, Ethiopia is not merely a dream to be envisioned, it is a reality to be built. We are building a nation that is healthy, resilient, and full of promise for future generations that is also a leader in Africa and a formidable competitor on the global stage. Each day, we continue to turn this promise into reality.
I held a fruitful bilateral meeting with President Daniel Francisco Chapo of Mozambique, marking the beginning of a long-lasting and tangible partnership. We also presided over the signing of several Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) that will serve as the framework to shape and deepen our cooperation across strategic sectors. Together, we are turning our shared African potential into transformative reality.
I welcome H.E. Salva Kiir Mayardit, President of the Republic of South Sudan, on his two-day official visit to Ethiopia. This visit underscores the strong and enduring ties between our two nations. I look forward to productive discussions that will further strengthen our cooperation and mutual interests.
Ethiopia knows how to harness wind and convert it into energy!
The Adama, Ashegoda, and Aysha wind power plants stand as living proof of this achievement. Our work will not stop until the country gets the alternative energy it deserves; today, we have made the Asella wind power project a reality and are fully prepared to continue with the next one!
