ABU DHABI (Horn post) The Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed, arrived in the United Arab Emirates on Thursday for a working visit aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and cooperation between the two countries.
According to the Emirates News Agency (WAM), Prime Minister Abiy landed at the Presidential Airport in Abu Dhabi, where he was received by Abdullah Sultan bin Awad Al Nuaimi, UAE Minister of Justice, and Mohamed Abdullah Al Jneibi, Chairman of the Presidential Protocol and Strategic Narrative Authority.
Focus on Bilateral Cooperation
The visit comes as Ethiopia and the United Arab Emirates continue to expand cooperation in several strategic sectors, including investment, trade, infrastructure development, and regional stability.
Officials say the working visit is expected to include discussions with senior UAE leaders on ways to deepen economic ties and explore new opportunities for partnership, particularly in development projects and investment initiatives.
Strong Diplomatic and Economic Ties
