Senior Ethiopian and US officials met in Washington this week to sign a bilateral structured dialogue framework covering trade, security, and the de-escalation of regional tensions.
The framework covers three key areas of cooperation: trade and investment; defense and security cooperation; and regional peace and stability. Officials say they are looking to enhance economic and commercial ties through expanded trade and investment, strengthen security cooperation in support of mutual interests, and advance coordination on regional peace and security issues.
A statement issued by the US Department of State yesterday indicates Foreign Minister Gedion Timothewos (PhD) and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio discussed “the US-Ethiopia security partnership and the significant steps taken to advance commercial opportunities between our nations.”
The Ethiopian delegation also included Girma Birru, advisor to the PM, and Redwan Hussein, head of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS), who held discussions with their US counterparts, according to a statement issued by the Foreign Ministry.
