There are platforms that have been serving Ethiopia as gateways to foster its economic cooperation and coordination with countries in the Arab world. In this regard, the League of Arab States (also known as Arab League) becomes in the forefront. The double membership of Djibouti, Sudan and Somalia in the Arab League and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is also believed to promote the two sides economic ties. The national flag carrier, The Ethiopian Airlines and airlines from Arab countries have a paramount importance in strengthening the two sides economic ties. By doing so, Ethiopia has been employing the Association to lure more investments from the Arab world to its economy.
