PM Abiy Ahmed Arrives in Moscow for Russia–Africa Summit

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has arrived in Moscow to attend the Third Russia–Africa Summit. He was received by senior Russian officials upon his arrival. The summit aims to advance multilateral partnerships, economic cooperation, and strategic dialogue between Russia and African nations, building on established diplomatic relations that span over a century.

In recent years, cooperation between Addis Ababa and Moscow has expanded, particularly following Ethiopia's accession to BRICS in January 2024. The event, which also includes an Economic and Humanitarian Forum, serves as a platform for high-level engagement to strengthen trade, industrial cooperation, and long-term strategic frameworks, continuing the dialogue established in previous summits held in Sochi and St. Petersburg.
