Sat 15 August 2026, Arba Minch, South Ethiopia.

Honored to once again join my colleague, State Minister H.E. Ambassador Berhanu Tsegaye, the management and staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its affiliated institutions, and our brothers and sisters in Gamo Zone, Berber City (ብርብር ከተማ), for a humanitarian assistance mission in support of families displaced by the devastating natural disaster of April 2026.

Together, we are turning solidarity into meaningful action by supporting the completion of 40 homes for vulnerable families, providing educational materials and protective clothing, and planting trees under the inspiring theme, “Let Us Plant Hope.”

I warmly call upon volunteers and our partners in the diplomatic community to join us in supporting the permanent resettlement and recovery of families affected by natural disasters.

My heartfelt thoughts and solidarity are with all those affected by the landslide. May they find the strength to recover, rebuild their lives, and regain hope, dignity, and stability.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held a strategic consultation from 17 to 18 August to support the preparation of its annual trend analysis document for the 2019 Ethiopian fiscal year. Held under the theme “Ethiopia and Interconnected Geopolitical and Geoeconomic Trends,” the consultation brought together several stakeholders to assess developments shaping Ethiopia’s national, regional, continental, and global environment.

Scholars and researchers from Addis Ababa University, think tanks, and national and international research institutions took part in the strategic consultation held on the 18th of August 2026. Opening the strategic consultation, State Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Hadera Abara said the trend analysis is particularly important in light of rapidly changing and unpredictable regional and global geopolitical and geoeconomic developments. He stressed the importance of understanding these interconnected developments proactively and scientifically in order to formulate appropriate policy responses.

Ambassador Hadera further underlined Ethiopia’s commitment to continue its contribution to peace and security as a member of the African Union Peace and Security Council, and its efforts to promote the Green Legacy initiative at the continental level and support the African Union’s institutional reform process. He described the current regional, continental and global environment as complex, dynamic and interconnected, emphasizing that strategic consultations of this nature provide an important platform for scholars and experts to exchange ideas and contribute to comprehensive strategy formulation.

The strategizing session held on the 17th of August 2026 brought representatives of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Trade and Regional Integration, the Ministry of Tourism, the Ministry of Labor and Skills, the Ethiopian Investment Commission, and the Ethiopian Investment Holdings. Opening the session, Zerubabel Getachew, Director General of the Situation Room, stressed that annual, multi-sectoral, and participatory trend analysis enables Ethiopia to better strategize the effective implementation of its foreign policy and advance its geoeconomic and geopolitical interests. He further noted that such analysis helps the country remain proactive and vigilant in identifying and capitalizing on emerging opportunities while addressing challenges in an evolving international environment.

The consultation featured presentations and discussions on financial and investment trends, foreign trade, tourism, overseas employment, geopolitical trends in the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea and the Middle East, broader African geopolitical trends and institutionalization, including global peace and security developments.

The annual trend analysis, as one of the Ministry’s core products, intends to support informed and enhanced foreign policy decision-making, as it identifies emerging opportunities and challenges and informs the implementation of Ethiopia’s foreign policy objectives during the current fiscal year.

We agreed on practical directions to ensure that “የኅብር ቀን”, is celebrated with exceptional significance across all Ethiopian Embassies and Consulates Generals worldwide, showcasing Ethiopia’s diversity, solidarity, and unity.

Our discussion also focused on strengthening our diplomatic efforts to share Ethiopia’s progress, shared aspirations, and development story with the international community—including achievements in food security, major national projects, macroeconomic reform, digital transformation, and the ongoing National Dialogue.

Through our missions abroad, we will continue to promote Ethiopia’s diversity, unity, progress, and shared aspirations for a stronger and more prosperous future.

Ethiopia’s foreign policy has liberated the nation from dependency and passive compliance, granting it an influential standing honouring its history, independence, and rapid growth.

Guided by the "4As" principle, the country forges strategic self-reliance by serving as an Active global participant, pursuing Alternative multi-bloc diplomacy, remaining Adaptive amid fast-moving geopolitical shifts, and acting as an Agenda Setter that secures national interests over external dictates. To sustain this posture, Ethiopia is rapidly building its economic, defense, people-to-people, and technological capabilities on a solid foundation.

Tuesday 21 July 2026 Addis Ababa
At today’s African Union Peace and Security Council Ministerial Meeting on Counter-Terrorism, I reaffirmed Ethiopia’s steadfast commitment to working with fellow AU Member States to strengthen our collective fight against terrorism.

I stressed that lasting security requires Africa to build and implement its own security and governance frameworks, supported by robust national institutions, effective legal systems, and capable security agencies. I also highlighted the importance of tackling the root causes of terrorism, expediting the operationalization of the African Standby Force, including its specialized counterterrorism capabilities, and unequivocally rejecting any attempt to justify terrorism on political, ideological, philosophical, or religious grounds.

By working together, we can build a safer, more peaceful, and more resilient Africa.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

It is with great pride that I join you today at the opening ceremony of this historic National Dialogue. This grand conference, which will bring together four thousand participants under one roof in the coming weeks, marks a historic opportunity for Ethiopia to obtain the “pen and parchment” with which to write a new chapter of its history by its own hand.

We are at a moment when we can break the cycle in Ethiopia’s political journey. A cycle that begins with inflammatory rhetoric and ends in violent action, and replace it with dialogue and discussion. I extend my sincere gratitude to the commissioners of the National Dialogue Commission for their invaluable contributions toward making this important undertaking possible.

This conference, which is founded on a bottom-up agenda-setting process involving hundreds of thousands of citizens, is a rare and remarkable event with immense significance in Ethiopia’s modern history. Through it, we have the opportunity to transform our challenges into opportunities and establish a lasting culture of peaceful transfers of power.

Today, we are planting good seeds that will benefit future generations, and we are ensuring that our children will enjoy the fruits they bear. As we participate in this dialogue, if we set aside our local interests and deliberate for the sake of Ethiopia, keeping our children and their future in mind, the outcome will be truly fruitful.

Together, let us cultivate hope, forgiveness, and peaceful coexistence. By resolving our differences through dialogue and reconciliation within our own country, let us safeguard Ethiopia from external interference. I call upon all participants to achieve a historic outcome; one that will benefit Ethiopia, serve as an example for Africa, and bring genuine peace and relief to all Ethiopians.

May Ethiopia forever prosper and be honored through the efforts of her children!
