New Petroleum Pipeline to Link Djibouti and Ethiopia

Ethiopia and Djibouti are set to construct a new 120km petroleum pipeline linking Djibouti's coastal storage facilities to Ethiopia's inland distribution networks. The infrastructure project is valued at approximately 660 million dollars. Officials expect the construction to be completed within 18 months. This initiative aims to transform the transit arrangement between the two countries into a shared economic corridor. By combining Djibouti's logistics capabilities with Ethiopia's large market, the pipeline is designed to secure fuel supply and improve economic integration.
