I had the opportunity to meet with President Vladimir Putin as well today for a constructive discussion on strengthening the strategic partnership between Ethiopia and Russia.

Our discussions reaffirmed our shared commitment to advancing cooperation across key areas, including defence and security, trade and investment, education, and technology. We also explored opportunities to expand educational exchanges and deepen collaboration in cultural and people-to-people ties.

We further discussed strengthening our cooperation on climate and development priorities, including collaboration toward COP32, while working together to expand mutually beneficial trade and economic exchanges.
