Ethiopia: Dr Tedros Meets Members of the Ethiopian Diaspora in Denmark

The Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Tedros Adhanom, held a meeting with representatives of the Ethiopian Diaspora in Copenhagen on Monday (November 17). The Minister emphasized the importance of all Ethiopians and those of Ethiopian origin in the Diaspora participating in the process of development, democratization and good governance in Ethiopia. He said the engagement of all members of the Diaspora was a crucial element for the realization of the Ethiopian renaissance in particular and more generally of the African renaissance.

Dr Tedros pointed out that Ethiopian government was working hard for the country to reach middle income level in the next ten years. The Ethiopian economy was one of the fastest growing economies in the world and the only non-oil economy in Africa which had been growing at double digit rates for more than a decade. He briefed those present on the current macroeconomic progress of the country, its infrastructure development, and the political and social transformation going on. He said the members of the Diaspora could and should play a major role in working to attract investment, trade, tourism and in mobilizing development co-operation, loans and technical assistance. They could also promote and enhance the image of their nation to the outside world.
