Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed appreciated his Turkish counterpart for consistently organising the Turkey Africa Summit what he call it “an important mechanism for development cooperation.” 

“I commend Erdogan for sustaining a platform that continues to advance and promote mutually beneficial cooperation between Turkey and African countries,” Abiy twitted on Saturday.

A day ago, he said he and his delegation had a  bilateral meeting with President Erdogan on the sidelines of the Turkey Africa Summit.

The historical relations between our two countries have always been rooted in mutual respect, Abiy stated.

“Our partnership continues based on constructive engagement,” he noted.

Turkey is among leading countries that are supporting the government of Ethiopia in recent days.
