The roundtable discussion with the think tank community was a great opportunity to present Ethiopia's economic growth and prosperity model & to exchange views on the country's political outlook, the latest regional developments and geopolitical dynamics shaping the Horn.

The engagements with Congress highlighted the significance of the Ethio-US r/ship & the importance of closer coordination to achieve comprehensive and lasting solutions to regional challenges. These engagements highlight the bright future and potential of the relationship!

The meeting between FM Gedion and Secretary Rubio provided an opportunity to discuss the long-lasting Ethio-US relations and regional issues of mutual interest. The outcome of this discussion was a strong commitment to build on this foundation for an even stronger partnership.

I am excited to share that a high-level delegation, led by FM Gedion Themoteos, successfully concluded its engagements in the US. Our first comprehensive discussion, under the just-signed Bilateral Structured Dialogue Framework, demonstrated the Framework's promising potential.

Met with Ethiopian Foreign Minister @GHessebon today to discuss expanding our security partnership and increasing commercial opportunities between our two nations.

In collaboration with DC Passport, thousands of residents from Washington, D.C. and the surrounding area visited our Embassy to experience Ethiopian cuisine, traditional clothing, art, and a coffee ceremony. #Ethiopia 🇪🇹#USA 🇺🇸

Four Years of Sustained Effort and Measurable Progress!   It is truly an honor to witness the tangible realization of our national vision at this year's "Made in Ethiopia" Expo. Our results-driven governance is reflected in unprecedented industrial expansion, highlighted by average production capacity utilization soaring from 47% to 67%, the attraction of over 2,800 domestic and foreign direct investments over the past four years, and more than $4.85 billion in foreign exchange saved through import substitution in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal year alone.   This expo unites hundreds of dynamic enterprises and innovative startups from across the nation. By working together and sustaining this powerful momentum, we will build a resilient, industrialized, and self-reliant Ethiopia for generations to come.   We Were Great and We Shall Be Even Greater!   #EthiopiaDelivers #MadeInEthiopia

I sincerely thank the American citizens and government officials who are supporting Allinance Care Now—a nonprofit organization founded by Ethiopian diaspora families—which is working to assist vulnerable children and their families in Ethiopia through education, healthcare, and job creation opportunities.

Our Embassy, in collaboration with the Corporate Council on Africa (CCA), successfully hosted a Business Forum under the theme “Ethiopia: A New Frontier for Investment.” The forum brought together numerous American companies and proved to be highly productive. Senior government officials in attendance delivered presentations and provided detailed responses to participants’ questions. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to everyone involved. #Ethiopia #InvestInEthiopia #EthiopiaRising #EthiopiaBusiness #EthiopiaInvestment #EthiopiaOpportunity

Today, we successfully concluded our productive stay in California. During our visit, we held constructive discussions with members of the Ethiopian diaspora residing in various cities. In addition, we had the opportunity to visit the Gateway to Heaven St.John The Babtist and St. Arsema Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Union Monastery located In California.

I had the opportunity to attend the African Diaspora Symposium (ADIS26), held from March 26–27 at Santa Clara University, California, under the theme “Bridging Africa and Silicon Valley: Shaping the Future of Innovation, Investment, and Inclusive Growth.” During the symposium, we engaged with companies, business leaders, and members of the African diaspora to highlight Africa’s—particularly Ethiopia’s—development journey and investment opportunities. It was a valuable platform to foster dialogue, share insights, and strengthen connections toward inclusive growth and collaboration.

Congratulations to Foten Tesfaye on her record-breaking debut at the Barcelona Marathon! Her victories—from Atlanta’s 2023 Peachtree Road Race to Barcelona—continue to inspire athletes from Ethiopia to the United States. We also celebrate the outstanding performances of all Ethiopian runners who made their mark in Barcelona. #US_Ethiopia #SportsDiplomacy
