🇷🇺🇪🇹 President Vladimir Putin held talks with Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed at the Constantine Palace.
💬 Vladimir Putin: I am delighted to welcome you in St Petersburg. I would like to begin by saying that we highly value the long-standing friendly ties between Russia and Ethiopia based as they are on the principles of mutual respect and taking into consideration each other’s interests.
For Russia, Ethiopia was the first country on the African continent with which Russia established diplomatic relations. This happened 125 years ago. We marked this anniversary recently.
I would like to thank you, Mr Prime Minister and your team, for accepting our proposal and deciding to come here to attend the Second #RussiaAfrica Summit.
📑 In time for your visit, we drafted an entire package of documents, including intergovernmental agreements on information security and air travel; a memorandum of understanding concerning information and communication technologies; a nuclear energy cooperation road map and a protocol of cooperation betweencustoms services. We are working together on more than 15 other intergovernmental agreements and inter-agency projects.
We continue to train professionals for our friends in Ethiopia. More than 20,000 Ethiopian citizens have completed study programmes in Russia in the past years. At the request of our Ethiopian friends, we increased the quota of your students sponsored by the Russian federal budget more than three times for the 2023–2024 academic year.
🤝 We maintain a regular political dialogue, with close interaction between our foreign ministers. Russia and Ethiopia share similar positions on many topical issues of the global agenda.
