Based on past Sino-Ethiopian relations and the latest visit of Mr. Wang Yi, some things that can be discerned are:Unannounced Visit: The fact that Mr. Wang Yi’s visit was not announced earlier suggests that the discussions and matters being addressed might have been sensitive or required a degree of privacy. It’s possible that the visit was intended to convey important messages and commitments directly from the Chinese leadership to the Ethiopian government. Message from President Xi Jinping: The message that Mr. Wang Yi brought from President Xi Jinping indicates that China places importance on its relationship with Ethiopia. China’s Influence in the Horn of Africa: The reference to Eritrean President’s visit to China and China’s growing influence in the Horn of Africa underscores China’s interest in the region. In conclusion, the unannounced visit of Mr. Wang Yi to Ethiopia and his meeting with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed likely signal a continuation of the strong economic and political ties between China and Ethiopia.
