Ethiopia has been, and remains, a steadfast voice in Africaโs continental journey, from the OAU to the African Union ( @_AfricanUnion ), with Addis Ababa serving as the home of our continental Union. As we mark this day, we reaffirm the vision of an integrated and prosperous Africa, while looking ahead to the next frontier of our collective progress.
In this spirit, and in my capacity as the African Unionโs Champion for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health, I call on Africaโs leaders and youth to embrace technological sovereignty and shape our digital future on our own terms.
Ethiopia stands ready to build that future alongside our fellow Africans.
Happy African Union Day!
The Atlantic must now carry the promise of our future as surely as it carries the memory of our past.
On this CARICOMโAfrica Day, one year after our first in-person summit in Addis Ababa, and on the 5th anniversary of the inaugural summit, we have meaningful progress to celebrate.
The opening of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam was a powerful reminder of what African determination can achieve. Air Peace is bringing our regions closer. In Barbados, the Afreximbank African Trade Centre at Jemmotts Lane is taking shape, while Ethiopian medical professionals are strengthening care at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
Ghana secured historic UN recognition of the trafficking and racialised enslavement of Africans as the gravest crime against humanity. Togoโs successful UN resolution calls for maps that properly reflect Africaโs size. In Accra, our pursuit of reparations advanced with the establishment of the Global Advisory Panel on Reparatory Justice, on which I am honoured to serve.
These achievements must inspire greater action. There is still much to do to make travel, trade, education and opportunity flow more freely between us.
Too many voices tell us what divides us. We need more voices willing to show what unites us. Across Africa and the Caribbean, I call on our people to embrace this reunion and help build it. Its promise belongs to every one of us.
Across the waters we must build a new passage of possibility, carrying our people, our ideas and our enterprise towards shared prosperity. Built in our own name. Guided by our own vision.
Our ancestors were denied the right to choose their destination. Our duty is to ensure their descendants can shape their destiny.

Sat 1 August 2026, Bishoftu
Honored to participate in this year's Green Legacy Initiative in Bishoftu alongside our Honorable Minister, esteemed Ambassadors from neighboring countries, and colleagues from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its affiliated institutions.
Planting 4,063 fruit-bearing seedlings is more than an environmental activity; it is an investment in a greener future, stronger food security, and a lasting legacy for generations to come.
Together, we reaffirm Ethiopia's commitment to sustainable development and collective climate action through meaningful partnerships.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Gedion Timothewos highlighted key continental and global issues in his remarks delivered today at the opening of the 49th Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the African Union in Addis Ababa.
The Minister noted that the session is taking place at a defining moment, as the international order and geopolitical structures are undergoing profound transformation. He observed that geopolitical competition, technological disruption, climate pressures, and growing contestation over strategic resources are shaping a new international dispensation. In this context, he stressed that Africa must seize the opportunity to become a strategic actor capable of providing African solutions to global challenges.
Gedion further stated that the African Union must emerge as a credible voice that advances the continent's priorities and safeguards its interests. Noting that Africa is home to eight of the world's ten fastest-growing economies in 2026, he said the continent is poised to become the engine of global economic growth in the second half of the 21st century. He also reaffirmed Ethiopia's commitment to the African Union and to promoting continental unity and strength.
The Minister emphasized the need for the African Union to secure a sustainable and reliable source of financing to effectively implement its decisions. He also underscored the importance of managing the continent's shared resources for integration and prosperity based on the principles of cooperation, equity, and mutual benefit, and stressed that Africa's challenges should be addressed through African institutions and frameworks.
Gedion further expressed Ethiopia's solidarity with the countries affected by the recent Ebola outbreak in parts of the continent and commended the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) for its preparedness and response efforts.

State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Hadera Abera, today participated in the 1354th Ministerial Meeting of the African Union Peace and Security Council (AUPSC) on Countering Terrorism and Violent Extremism in Africa.
During the meeting, Ambassador Hadera underscored the growing threat posed by global terrorist groups to peace and security across the continent. He noted the ability of terrorist groups to exploit emerging technologies, including digital platforms and social media, to recruit members, disseminate propaganda, and spread extremism.
Given the global shifts, he stressed the importance of operationalizing the Africa Standby Force and strengthening the implementation of continental normative frameworks to enhance intra-African cooperation on security and governance.
Ambassador Hadera also highlighted Ethiopia's efforts to combat domestic terrorism and its unparalleled contribution to addressing the scourge of terrorism in the region.
At todayโs Meeting of the Committee of Experts of the Peace and Security Council, chaired by Mr. Michael Wamai, Expert, AU PSC COEs Chairperson for July 2026, considered the proposed #AU Model on Trigger Mechanisms for Early Warning and Early Action.
The proposed model seeks to strengthen timely & proportionate #AU responses by establishing clear triggers, thresholds, and response options to address emerging risks before they escalate into violent conflict. It will serve as a decision-support tool for the #AUPSC, linking early warning analysis with preventive action through existing #AU governance & peace and security mechanisms.
The long-awaited and historic national dialogue platform, which brings all Ethiopians together around the table from corner to corner, will begins. This new and critical chapter in history is good news for both the current and future generations. It is also a vital nation-building process that confirms Ethiopia is not a country built on war, but one constructed on public consensus and a shared narrative.
#PMOEthiopia #EthiopiaConsults
Today, on the eve of our historic National Dialogue, I received Ethiopia's dear friend H.E. Oluแนฃแบนgun แปbasanjแป in my office to discuss the upcoming National Dialogue and to draw on his wisdom from such journeys, where he shared with us his experience leading the Biafra Peace process. This experience offers a great lesson for Ethiopiaโs journey toward ensuring unity and lasting peace through dialogue.
Ethiopia remains profoundly grateful for your invaluable contributions!
