We celebrated the 19th Ethiopian National Flag Day with our employees through a flag-raising ceremony and the singing of the national anthem, honoring our national identity, unity, and shared aspirations for a brighter future.
Happy Ethiopian National Flag Day! 🇪🇹
I had the opportunity to visit the Ethiopia Meteorology Institute, a long-standing institution whose work is vital to the country’s development and resilience. The visit reaffirmed the importance of meteorological data collection, scientific research, and technological advancement in strengthening our capacity to understand and respond to changing weather and climate conditions.
Strengthening institutions like the Ethiopia Meteorology Institute is essential. Investing in human capacity, modern technologies, and data infrastructure is critical to improving the services on which key sectors—including agriculture, water, health, aviation, and disaster risk management—depend. I was particularly encouraged by the importance of early warning systems in helping us anticipate risks, identify where interventions are most needed, and engage in a timely and effective manner. Reliable data, when translated into actionable information, saves lives, protects livelihoods, and supports better decision-making.
Such work goes beyond satellite observation. It also depends on a robust network of data collection stations and data centres across the country, where information is gathered, processed, and analysed to inform timely action.
Hello Addis Ababa!
Delighted to arrive in Ethiopia. Thank State Minister @BerhanuTsegaye for the warm reception. Look forward to productive engagements to advance our Strategic Partnership.
🇮🇳 🇪🇹
State Minister Ambassador Berhanu Tsegaye today held discussions with PARFAIT SERGE ONANGA-ANYANGA, United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Representative to the African Union and Head of the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU), Ozonnia Ojielo, United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Ethiopia, and GUANG CONG, United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa.
During the discussions, Ambassador Berhanu briefed the high-level officials on the situation in Northern Ethiopia, particularly highlighting Eritrea’s continued aggression and direct military involvement across different fronts along the border.
The State Minister called upon the United Nations to unequivocally condemn these flagrant violations of sovereignty and international law by the Eritrean government. He emphasized that addressing this unprovoked aggression is critical to preserving regional stability, safeguarding ongoing peace efforts, and ensuring accountability across the Horn of Africa.
Today, the House of Peoples' Representatives approved the nominees for the Council of Ministers. An appointment is not a position for leisure; rather, it is a realm of diligent labor and a profound national trust—one that demands immense effort to strengthen Ethiopia, foster its prosperity, and advance it along the path of civilization. In the coming years, extensive work is required to ensure Ethiopia remains sovereign in its decision-making, united amidst diversity, productive in creating and preserving value, a leading regional and continental anchor, and steadfast in the capabilities it passes on to the next generation.
The Medemer government is committed to realizing this vision!
