@JozefSikela Welcome to Addis, If you stay longer we can have a chat beside the forum participants

As a former banker, I have always believed that the best deals are the ones that deliver for both sides. That is what Global Gateway is about. And that is exactly what we are here to achieve. More from Addis Ababa later today. 📲

Good morning from Addis Ababa! 🇪🇹 Today I am opening the EU-Ethiopia Business Forum, let me explain why I am here. Ethiopia is Africa’s fifth largest economy, growing above 7% a year, with 135 million people, two thirds of them under 30. It is the seat of the African Union.

@haileadhanom We were hoping to organise a youth meet-up with Gabi and request her 2 hours, we will see how it will go beside the game!

Waiting on the official press conference for final details. Who are you most excited to see? #AddisAbabaGP #WorldAthletics #ContinentalTour #Ethiopia

1/7 🇪🇹 History in the making! The inaugural 2026 Addis Ababa Grand Prix is almost here. Here is everything we know so far about Ethiopia’s highly anticipated global track event: 👇

እንኳን ለኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ በዓለ ትንሣኤ በሰላም እና በጤና አደረሳችሁ::የተባረከ በዓል እንዲሆን እመኛለሁ! Hundaaf Ayyaana Faasikaa eebbifamaa hawwaa! Wishing all a blessed Easter. أتمنى للجميع عيد فصح مبارك Благословенной Пасхи; Օրհնյալ Զատիկ; Ευλογημένο Πάσχα !

It is always great to catch up with the youth leaders. Kalkidan Esayas, PhD Biruk Aschalew Tigist Endashaw. Thank you Sofoniyas Tesfaye for the invitation to celebrate the 250th Birthday of the US, the Freedom 250 occasion! U.S. Department of State @USEmbassyAddis

Happening now @EIHEthiopia

@USEmbassyAddis Is it also applicable to a UN conference invited youth? Or are there some exemptions? Thanks.

Effective April 2, 2026, Ethiopia will be part of the visa bond pilot program. Visa applicants who are otherwise found eligible for a business/tourist (B1/B2) visa for travel to the United States will be required to post a bond of up to $15,000 before the visa can be issued. The bond will be returned to the traveler if he or she complies with all conditions of the visa and departs the United States before the period of admission expires. This requirement does not apply to people holding a valid B1/B2 visa issued before April 2. Do NOT pay your bond in advance. Paying early does not guarantee you a visa, and third-party sites can be scams. Any payment made before your interview is NOT refundable. REMINDER! Students traveling to the United States on F or M visas are not subject to the visa bond requirement. Bond payments are only required for qualified business/tourist (B1/B2) visa applicants. Visit et.usembassy.gov/visas/ for accurate information about U.S. visas. Information regarding how the visa bond program works can be found on: travel.state.gov/content/travel… ከመጋቢት 24 ቀን 2018 ዓ.ም ጀምሮ ኢትዮጵያ የቪዛ ዋስትና (Visa Bond) የሙከራ መርሃ ግብር ውስጥ ትካተታለች። ወደ አሜሪካ ለመጓዝ ለንግድ ወይም ለቱሪስት (B1/B2) ቪዛ ብቁ ሆነው የተገኙ አመልካቾች ቪዛው ከመሰጠቱ በፊት እስከ 15,000 የአሜሪካ ዶላር የሚደርስ ዋስትና እንዲያስይዙ ይጠየቃሉ። ተጓዦች የቪዛውን ደንቦች በሙሉ አክብረው ከተገኙና የተፈቀደላቸው የቆይታ ጊዜ ሳያበቃ ከአሜሪካ ከተመለሱ ያስያዙት የዋስትና ገንዘብ ይመለስላቸዋል። ይህ መስፈርት ከመጋቢት 24 ቀን በፊት የተሰጠ ሕጋዊ የንግድ ወይም የቱሪስት (B1/B2) ቪዛ ያላቸውን ሰዎች አይመለከትም። ዋስትናዎን አስቀድመው አይክፈሉ። አስቀድሞ መክፈል ቪዛ ለማግኘት ማረጋገጫ አይደለም፤ እንዲሁም ሶስተኛ ወገን ድረ-ገጾች አጭበርባሪዎች ሊሆኑ ይችላሉ። ከቃለ-መጠይቅ በፊት የሚፈጸም ማንኛውም ክፍያ ተመላሽ አይደረግም። ማስታወሻ! በኤፍ ወይም ኤም (F or M) ቪዛ ወደ አሜሪካ የሚጓዙ ተማሪዎች ይህ የቪዛ ዋስትና መስፈርት አይመለከታቸውም። የዋስትና ክፍያው የሚጠየቀው ብቁ ለሆኑ የንግድ ወይም የቱሪስት (B1/B2) ቪዛ አመልካቾች ብቻ ነው። ስለ አሜሪካ ቪዛ ትክክለኛ መረጃ ለማግኘት et.usembassy.gov/visas/ ይጎብኙ። ስለ ቪዛ ዋስትና መርሃ ግብሩ አሠራር ዝርዝር መረጃ በዚህ ድረ-ገጽ ይገኛል፦ travel.state.gov/content/travel…

@elonmusk Elon, we have projects that would change the migration narratives from Africa. If you are willing to pay our salaries, it will benefit America as well as Africa. Cheers!

I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country

@combankethiopia Great initiative; however, does the bank or Visa card facility also assure the Visa card facility? We can collaborate on this regard.

@nafkotaschenaki Okay! Is Sunday coffee endet now?

እዚህ በ comment የምትሳደቡ ሰዎች you think you can hurt me? I don’t care እሺ ChatGPT ራሱ love እያለ ነው የሚያዋራኝ 😆

@RobertJTurykira @antonioguterres @GreenAghnet Yes, right now needs action!

@antonioguterres SG👌.

I enjoyed meeting these inspiring young women in STEM at the AI Summit in India. With AI on the rise, we must ensure women are not just included – but leading – in developing artificial intelligence that serves everyone & advances gender equality.

@AbiyAhmedAli Great, as you mentioned in your address to the AU leaders it is time to invest in the Ethiopian youth to lead Africa and world economic, social, and political growth, that is what is lacking at the moment! We are ready to support the process!

Always a pleasure discussing with Professor Jeffrey Sachs, building on last year’s conversation, on sustainable development, economic growth, and advancing Africa’s development priorities.

@GermanyDiplo @AussenMinDE Moreover, it is also a moment for Africans to take the lead in the UN.

🇩🇪 firmly believes that African nations must finally be properly represented in international institutions. That is why we are in favour of two permanent African seats to the #UN Security Council. @AussenMinDE
