Today, we officially inaugurated the Megech Irrigation Dam Project, a major milestone for historic Gondar and its surrounding community. Though delayed for years, we resolved execution challenges through the Medemer philosophy to realize this vital project.

With a capacity of 185 million cubic meters, the dam will irrigate over 17,000 hectares, directly benefiting tens of thousands of local farmers. Beyond supplying reliable, clean drinking water to Gondar and nearby towns, it stimulates a broader economic growth. The artificial lake will foster urban agriculture, large-scale fisheries, and tourism resorts, creating massive job opportunities for local youth.

While this success stems from rigorous monitoring, Gondar still deserves much more development. I urge the public to actively participate in its development. We remain dedicated to ensuring Ethiopia’s progress is inclusive, benefiting all regions and citizens.

‘Ethiopia’s next chapter is about transforming its immense potential and abundant natural resources into tangible development, technological advancement, and shared prosperity.’

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

I visited the Ethiopian Nuclear Energy Commission, an institution of strategic importance to Ethiopia’s long-term development vision.

Ethiopia’s next chapter is about transforming its immense potential and abundant natural resources into tangible development, technological advancement, and shared prosperity.

Reliable and sustainable energy is essential for industrialization, manufacturing, digital infrastructure, and economic transformation. Nuclear technology offers an important opportunity to strengthen energy security while contributing to progress in healthcare, agriculture, industry, and environmental protection.

The Commission plays a vital role in laying the institutional and technical foundations for Ethiopia’s national nuclear energy program. Building skilled human capital, advancing scientific research, and transferring knowledge to future generations will be essential to ensuring that nuclear energy is developed peacefully, safely, responsibly, and sustainably.

Good meeting this morning with @Dr_JeanKaseya, Director General of Africa CDC, during which we discussed a range of priorities, including the new responsibility entrusted to me as the African Union Champion for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Health.

Innovation remains a bedrock of Africa’s progress. As we navigate evolving health challenges, harnessing the power of AI and digital technologies will be essential to strengthening our health systems, expanding access, and delivering better outcomes for our people. Ethiopia remains committed to sharing its experience across the continent and forging strong partnerships to effectively adapt to a rapidly evolving technological landscape.

I look forward to working closely with Africa CDC and partners across the continent to translate this vision into tangible, inclusive impact.

In the presence of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) and Burundi’s President Évariste Ndayishimiye, Ethiopia and Burundi signed and exchanged several memoranda of understanding.

The agreements cover key sectors including defense, health, education, water and energy, agriculture, trade, digital ID, and tourism.

These wide-ranging agreements reflect a mutual commitment to sustainable development and are intended to serve as a foundation for shared progress and prosperity.

Addis Ababa, widely regarded as the capital of global diplomacy, continues to strengthen its reputation as a premier destination for international conferences.

We held productive preliminary discussions today with a delegation led by Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General of Africa CDC, on preparations for the 5th International Public Health Conference in Africa, to be hosted in Addis Ababa.

In recognition of Ethiopia’s strong hosting capacity and exceptional hospitality, the Center has selected Addis Ababa as the venue for this major international gathering, expected to welcome over 30,000 in-person participants. Ethiopia highly values this decision, and I reaffirmed our full commitment to working collaboratively to ensure its success.

From ancient landmarks to dramatic landscapes, Ethiopia’s established and emerging tourism sites are becoming true destinations, made more accessible through new roads, hotels, and visitor services. These improvements make it easier for travelers to experience the country’s historic sites and breathtaking natural wonders. Tourism creates jobs, strengthens local businesses, and celebrates Ethiopia’s rich cultures and traditions. By investing in visitors and the places they explore, we are investing in a more connected, prosperous future.
