New Delhi: India and Ethiopia are set to finalize stalled agreements on visa waiver and sister-city projects, according to people aware of the matter. According to the people cited above, these agreements were stalled for over two years as Addis Ababa focussed its energies on fighting a civil war. In November 2022, Addis Ababa signed a truce with rebel forces and brought the conflict to an end. According to the people cited above, a number of agreements between India and Ethiopia delayed by the war are set to be finalised in the coming months. India’s diplomatic support for the Ethiopian government during the civil war has been an important factor propelling the relationship forward.
