The Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday said it had repatriated 65,000 of its nationals stranded in foreign countries in the last six months.

Stretched on 75 hectares of land, Debre Birhan industrial park will have eight industrial sheds ready to accommodate prospective investors once it’s fully commissioned. Lelise Neme, CEO of Ethiopia Industrial Park Development Corporation (IPDC), said Ethiopia aims to commission six industrial parks, including Debre Birhan industrial park, before the end of the current fiscal year 2018/19, in July. “Ethiopia has so far built and commissioned five industrial parks and with the anticipated commissioning of six more industrial parks in 2018/19, Ethiopia’s industrialisation ambitions will receive a massive boost,” Neme said.
