Ethiopia and Djibouti have joined hands to transplant millions of tree seedlings in Djibouti. The two East African countries on Friday established a joint coordinating committee in Djibouti for the success of the transplantation of 9 million tree seedlings in Djibouti, according to a report by Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC). Ethiopia has pledged to provide 1 billion tree seedlings to neighboring countries, thereby contributing to regional efforts of addressing the impacts of climate change and desertification. The Green Legacy Initiative would ensure development of mobilizing resources at all levels, said Deputy Head of the Ethiopian Embassy in Djibouti Mohammed Hassen. Such initiatives would give impetus to the ever-growing relations between the two countries by engendering sustainable economic integration, said the Ethiopian diplomat.
