It is to be recalled that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed participated in the International Conference on Migration and Development.

During the occasion, the premier and other senior government officials held bilateral talks with various countries on the sidelines of the conference.

Foreign Affairs State Minister Birtukan Ayano pointed out that Ethiopia’s participation in multilateral and bilateral diplomacy is growing from time to time.

Efforts have been carried out to protect Ethiopia’s national interest and in this regard the international conferences held in Italy have been fruitful in enhancing bilateral and multilateral diplomacy.
