Ethiopia stands ready to further deepen cooperation with China under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), said a senior Ethiopian official. “Ethiopia attributes its double-digit growth in the past decades to investment from China. “In relation to the Belt and Road Initiative, we are the co-beneficiaries of this global initiative in all aspects,” Tilahun said. Noting the need to deepen Ethiopia-China, in particular, and Africa-China BRI cooperation in general, Tilahun called on Africa and China to further cement ties to attain mutual and win-win outcomes. “What I recommend is that the speed and magnitude of implementing the Belt and Road Initiative should be strengthened,” he said.
