Ethiopia Will Cement Relationships with Neighboring Countries - PMJanuary 12, 2017 - Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn said his government will strengthen its bilateral relations with neighboring countries, according to FBC. The Premier gave today explanation for questions raised by members of the parliament (MPs). It is a big success to finalize the Ethio-Djibouti railway within four and a half years. The Construction of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) has also reached at 58 percent, the Premier told the MPs. The delay in sugar projects is resulted from the problem in planning initially to build 10 factories at the same time and lack of capacity of contractors, especially Indian contractors.
