Strengthening fraternal relations
The friendship between the people of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and people of South Africa goes back decades even before the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
“Ethiopia has always held a special place in my own imagination, and the prospect of visiting Ethiopia attracted me more strongly than a trip to France, England, and America combined,” he said. During the discussions, the two leaders laid the foundation for stronger bilateral ties with the signing of various agreements and Memoranda of Understanding.
There was also agreement to strengthen cooperation in the area of mining, deep mining and mineral beneficiation. Our agricultural cooperation will enhance food security and our exchange of best practices will drive skills development in our nations. Importantly, our countries share a vision of an African continent that is prosperous, peaceful, democratic, non-sexist and united, and which contributes to a world that is just and equitable. We understand that a stable and peaceful continent is the only way to ensure prosperity for our region and the rest of Africa.
Thousands of Ethiopians live in South Africa and consider it home. The two leaders discussed some of the challenges the community faced including the attacks on foreign nationals last year that has been a great concern for our government.
