Today, at the 'Digital for Excellence' summit, we officially inaugurated the Unified MESOB Application, Africa's first unified digital service application that brings services from across institutions onto a single platform. This milestone is a source of immense national pride and a testament to what deliberate, focused investment in technology can deliver.

MESOB one-stop service is critical economic infrastructure. It saves citizens' time, closes corruption gaps, and strengthens institutional integrity on the government side. Above all, it stands as a clear demonstration that Ethiopia's ambitions are not wishes, they are realities we build with our own hands and our own capacity.

I call on us to consolidate this achievement, share this experience with our African brothers and sisters, and move forward with the determination to deliver even more!

Securing water infrastructure remains a key milestone in building resilience, marked by the completion of irrigation dams under the Finna Oromia Irrigation Projects in Gomole Woreda of Borena Zone. In Dese Gora, for example, this critical infrastructure has created a massive water storage capacity of more than 190 million cubic meters, ensuring a reliable and sustainable water supply. The projects have the potential to irrigate over 14,500 hectares of agricultural land, directly supporting households, strengthening food production, and securing water resources for livestock.

Wednesday 3 June 2026 Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
I am delighted to welcome the Finnish delegation, headed by Outi Holopainen, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign and Security Policy, to Addis Ababa for the Ethiopia–Finland political consultations, taking place after a 17-year hiatus. Ethiopia and Finland enjoy a longstanding partnership founded on mutual respect, trust, and many years of cooperation in areas such as education, development, water and sanitation, and rural transformation. Ethiopia deeply values Finland as a dependable and trusted partner and remains committed to further enhancing collaboration in innovation, education, and sustainable development.
As Ethiopia continues to pursue reform and peacebuilding initiatives, we look forward to expanding engagement with Finnish institutions and businesses, particularly in digital transformation, renewable energy, water resource management, and educational technology.
