Gov’t appreciates Diaspora community’s commitment in defending nation’s interests

Addis Ababa, January 11, 2022 (FBC) – State Minister of Foreign Affairs Ambassador Redwan Hussein urged the Ethiopian community in the Diaspora to boost trade and investment activities in Ethiopia through their active engagements.

The Ambassador made the call while delivering a keynote speech during a forum on ‘Diaspora Investment’ organized by the Investment Commission of Ethiopia.

He also appreciated Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia in the Diaspora for their spectacular commitment to defending Ethiopia’s interests in times of its needs.

Ambassador Redwan said the game-changing potential of Ethiopians in the Diaspora should now resort to the economic sector, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Transferring money via legally recognized institutions, marketing Ethiopian-made products, and investing in Ethiopia would decrease economic dependence and undue pressures, he said.

Lelise Neme, Commissioner of Ethiopian Investment Commission, and ministers from various government organizations have presented reports on several investment opportunities for Ethiopians in the Diaspora to engage in the Ethiopian market.
