The pact was signed between the Addis Ababa city administration and Chinese Hisense TransTech Co., Ltd. The Ethiopian government is investing in the transport and logistics sector with a view to maintaining the country's economic growth trajectory. Some of the expressways so far built in the country include the Addis Ababa - Adama, Modjo - Hawassa, and Dere Dawa -Dewele. Yilikal requested the Chinese government to play its role in the rebuilding activities with a view to strengthening the existing friendship and development partnership between Ethiopia and China. "The relationship between the government and the people of China with Ethiopia is strong not only economically, politically and diplomatically, but also in people to people ties," he noted.
