The world knows Ethiopia by name, but its full story remains to be told. Today, we tell it in our own voice, in our own words. Ethiopia’s official Nation Brand website is now live. Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee, sharing with the world a gift rooted in its forests. It is a land where some of humanity’s earliest ancestors lived, leaving traces of our shared origins. Through the Green Legacy Initiative, its people are restoring the land, one seedling at a time. Its rivers, winds, and sunshine are harnessed to power progress and bring light beyond its borders. Its cities are transforming, with Addis Ababa, Africa’s New Flower, at the heart of this renewal. Here, Africa comes together. In Ethiopia, the shared pride, courage, and aspirations of African peoples converge in the enduring spirit of Pan-African unity. Its ancient civilization lives on in stone, script, song, and delivering projects. And its runners carry a legacy of excellence from one generation to the next, shining on the world’s greatest stages. On the historic road to #COP32, Ethiopia shares its sovereignty, heritage, discoveries, and hope with the world, from origins to a bold future. Discover Ethiopia, discover where it all began.

The groundbreaking of the Lamu Refinery serves as a reminder that moments of this kind mark a step towards enhancing Africa's industrial capacity, creating opportunities, and establishing the foundations for greater economic and industrial sovereignty throughout East Africa. You, the industrial captains, investors, and entrepreneurs throughout the continent, must invest in Africa, have faith in our potential, and construct the transformative projects which will determine our common continental future. The future of Africa is something that we shall have to build together.

On the margins of UNGA, I held talks with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Frank Garcia on regional peace and security issues of mutual interest, as well as the importance of further strengthening commercial relations between Ethiopia and the United States. We both stressed the need for further strengthening economic and commercial cooperation between Ethiopia and the US. We also raised follow-up issues relating to the Ethiopia–U.S. structured dialogue held in Washington, D.C., in May 2026, which covered economic prosperity, trade and investment, defense and security cooperation, and regional peace and stability. We both agreed to continue to compare notes and work closely on peace and stability in the region.
