Addis Ababa is more than a capital. It is a vision in motion, a gateway to Ethiopia’s future! As the beating heart of a rapidly transforming nation, Addis Ababa embodies our bold ambition for inclusive and forward-looking urbanisation. We are building not only for today, but for generations to come by expanding modern infrastructure, advancing smart city solutions, creating inclusive housing, and championing sustainable growth. Across Ethiopia, our cities are being shaped to empower people, unlock potential, and secure lasting prosperity. Ours is a nation where progress and heritage stand side by side. Where ancient civilisations inspire modern achievement. Where investors discover vast, untapped opportunity across diverse sectors and regions. From the streets of Addis Ababa to the farthest reaches of our country, Ethiopia stands ready, resilient, dynamic, and open for business. As the diplomatic capital of Africa, Addis Ababa connects the world to a rising continent. It positions Ethiopia as a strategic gateway to African markets and a hub for global partnership. Yet Ethiopia offers more than opportunity. It offers discovery. The future is being built here. Invest in Ethiopia. Explore Ethiopia. Grow with Ethiopia.

How many countries did you visit in 2025??

Ghana’s Parliament React To The New Transformation Of Addis Ababa🇬🇭🇪🇹

Great schools don’t just teach; they mould values. The wholesomeness of a student isn't merely limited to academic achievements, it is more central to true success in life. Education gives us more than grades; it shapes who we become and reminds us to lift others. Honoured to celebrate the #SMACKOBAAwards2025, recognizing @SmackObs who search deeper, dream bigger, and lift others higher, while supporting the vulnerable. Together, we rise. #DucInAltum

Working people have been left behind in New York. In the wealthiest city in the world, one in five can't afford $2.90 for the train or bus. As I told Trump today— it’s time to put those people right back at the heart of our politics.

Raila Odinga was a true champion of democracy. A child of independence, he endured decades of struggle and sacrifice for the broader cause of freedom and self-governance in Kenya. Time and again, I personally saw him put the interests of his country ahead of his own ambitions. Like few other leaders anywhere, he was willing to choose the path of peaceful reconciliation without compromising his core values. Through his life, Raila Odinga set an example not just for Kenyans, but across Africa and around the world. I know he will be missed. Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to his family and to the people of Kenya.

A huge legacy that was etched in justice , courage & hope. A life lived with more upright conviction than ambition. RIP Baba 🕊️

Business is hard. Startups are hard. Starting a business in Uganda is extra hard. Succeeding in Uganda is doing business at maximum difficulty. Doing business in UG with integrity is nearly impossible. I celebrate all founders who wake up each day to try one just more time.

As we gathered for our meeting at the White House yesterday, JD Vance mentioned to us that he had never before visited the Oval Office. I told him and President Trump that I HAD to capture the moment on video. Only in America can a hardworking young man from Appalachia rise from his humble circumstances to enter the Oval for first time as VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. What a country! 🇺🇸

Has anyone ever been this excited about a Monday before?

Glad to have witnessed & been part #2024
