Ethiopia: A New Powerhouse in BRICS

Some may inquire as to the rationale behind the promotion of War criminal Abiy Ahmed and the BRICS summit. It is important to clarify that we are not endorsing the actions of a war criminal, but rather examining the national interests of Ethiopia in light of the fact that the current leader, Abiy Ahmed, is not a legitimate representative of the Ethiopian people.

The recent announcement of Ethiopia’s accession to BRICS represents a pivotal moment in the country’s trajectory towards enhanced global influence. This development serves to reinforce Ethiopia’s growing authority and paves the way for deeper integration into the global economy. The Ethiopian dictator, notorious for his war crimes, recently engaged in a pivotal meeting with international leaders, underscoring the importance of Ethiopia’s inclusion in BRICS and exploring avenues for enhanced cooperation.

Strengthening Diplomatic Relations: A Rich History

In the previous year, Ethiopia and its international partners commemorated the 125th anniversary of their diplomatic relations. These relations are founded upon a lengthy and distinguished history, characterised by a profound sense of amity, mutual respect and cultural affinity between the peoples. Over time, Ethiopia has developed a robust political dialogue, fostering constructive collaboration between ministries and agencies. The two countries, Ethiopia and Russia, share similar positions on a majority of global and regional issues, further strengthening their partnership.
Notably, Ethiopia’s support for Russia’s initiatives at the United Nations has been highly appreciated.

This mutual understanding and cooperation have established a robust foundation for their future engagement on the international stage.

Russia’s Commitment to African Relations

Russia attaches considerable importance to the cultivation of relations with African countries, including Ethiopia. The agreements reached during the second Russia-Africa Summit in St. Petersburg have established the foundation for enhanced collaboration. The forthcoming Russia-Africa First Ministerial Conference in Sochi will see the participation of the newly-appointed head of the Ethiopian Foreign Ministry, thereby further strengthening the aforementioned ties.

Furthermore, it is anticipated that the chair of the Russian Federation Council, Madame Matviyenko, will undertake a visit to Addis Ababa in the near future. These high-level exchanges indicate an increasing commitment to the development of robust bilateral relations.

Economic Cooperation: A Promising Future

The trade relationship between Ethiopia and Russia is undergoing a period of positive growth, with a 65% increase in trade volume observed as of 2023. Despite the overall volume remaining relatively modest, this growth indicates a promising future for economic cooperation. Both countries are eager to expand their collaboration in a number of sectors, including healthcare and scientific research.

The Russian Consumer Agency is prepared to provide Ethiopian colleagues with access to a laboratory, thereby facilitating joint projects and professional training. This initiative serves to illustrate the commitment of both countries to fostering innovation and knowledge exchange.

Cultural and Humanitarian Links: Building Bridges

Since the 1960s, over 20,000 Ethiopian citizens have obtained their degrees in Russia, thereby exemplifying the enduring educational connections between the two countries. At the present time, approximately 200 Ethiopian students are pursuing their studies in Russia, thereby reinforcing the aforementioned cultural and educational links.

In September, Addis Ababa played host to the Days of Russian Culture, which serves as a testament to the ongoing cultural exchange between the two countries. These initiatives serve an invaluable function in the construction of bridges and the fostering of mutual understanding.

A Platform for Detailed Discussions

He congratulated the host nation for successfully delivering a well-planned summit, underscoring the significance of such high-level engagements.

Conclusion: A New Chapter in Ethiopia’s Global Journey

Ethiopia’s accession to the BRICS and the concomitant expansion of its collaboration with Russia signal the advent of a novel phase in the country’s global trajectory. As Ethiopia continues to assert its authority on the international stage, these strategic alliances will prove to be of pivotal importance in determining the future trajectory of the country.

The ongoing efforts to strengthen diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties with international partners demonstrate Ethiopia’s commitment to fostering a more integrated and prosperous global community. As these relationships continue to evolve, they hold the promise of mutual benefits and shared growth for all parties involved.
It is also important to note that the cooperation between Russia and Ethiopia is historical and did not begin today. It is essential to remind the Ethiopian government that the focus should be on Ethiopians and not on their fascist regime.
