On the eve of New Year celebrations, the Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan extends its heartfelt congratulations to the brotherly people of Ethiopia, wishing them enduring peace, prosperity, and further social and economic progress.
We hold great respect for the courageous and kind-hearted people of Ethiopia, guardians of a rich and ancient culture, who have not only preserved their independence but have also steadfastly overcome the challenges life presents.
We are witnessing Ethiopia’s wide-ranging reforms aimed at transforming its economy to improve the standard of living for its citizens, strengthen national unity, and foster regional integration, both in the Horn of Africa and across the continent. With optimism, we look forward to Ethiopia’s bright future and wish continued success in achieving its goals.
Kazakhstan and Ethiopia maintain active cooperation on a bilateral level and within international organizations. We are keen to further deepen our bilateral relations with Addis Ababa.
Kazakhstan and Ethiopia share similar positions on many international and regional issues and address common challenges, such as those faced by landlocked countries, combating climate change, fighting terrorism and organized crime, and countering the illicit drug trade. These shared priorities call for closer collaboration in these spheres.
Kazakhstan is also interested in enhancing cooperation with Ethiopia in the trade and economic sectors and is ready to engage in areas such as agriculture, logistics, green energy, and digitalization. We are confident that Ethiopia, with its dynamically growing economy, will become an important partner for Kazakhstan in these fields.
Through the “Born Bold” initiative, we aim to strengthen our ties, bringing Kazakhstan and Africa even closer through trade, transit, and tourism projects. Kazakhstan is open to dialogue on increasing trade turnover, attracting investments, and establishing joint ventures that will benefit our nations.
We remain committed to building bridges of friendship between our countries. May the New Year bring peace, happiness, and continued progress to the people of Ethiopia and Kazakhstan!
