According to an announcement made by the Government Communication Department, how to improve trade cooperation and increase economic relations, in addition to alliance in science and technology, are some of the major issues on the agenda of the meeting.

The notification also outlines ways to strengthen diplomatic relations, cooperation in global multilateral forums, cooperation in the education sector and cultural exchange.

Last September, the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, and the Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister, Demiki Mekonnen, held a meeting in which they agreed to conduct the exchange before the end of 2022.

The day before, the Ethiopian Minister of Innovation and Technology, Belet Mola, received the Russian delegation and declared that the relationship between the two countries is historic and solid.

In this way, he highlighted Russia’s support for Ethiopia during the colonial invasion of Italy in 1896 and the Soviet Union’s opposition in 1935 to the Italian occupation of the African country.

Last Friday, Russian Deputy Minister of Digital Development, Communications and Information Maxim Parshin stated that as part of efforts to strengthen relations with Ethiopia, cooperation in the field of digitization and information network security will grow.

Specifically, in a meeting with Al-Mulla, Parchin emphasized that the 8th Joint Ministerial Committee is an opportune moment to devise strategies in e-government services, digital skills and other areas.
