ADDIS ABABA– Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ethiopia’s admission to the BRICS family will further strengthen the two countries cooperation in various areas.
The President made the above remark while receiving the letter of credence of Ethiopia’s Ambassador to Russia Cham Ugala Uriat.
At a ceremony held in Moscow, President Putin said it is his government desire to bolster the two countries diplomatic relations that spanned over 125-year. “Ethiopia’s admission to BRICS will further consolidate the Ethio-Russia partnership in strategic areas.”
According to information obtained from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s (PhD) recent visit to Russia and the signed cooperation agreements take the two countries relations to a higher level.
It is to be recalled that leaders of the BRICS economic bloc approved the admission of Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Egypt, Argentina and the United Arab Emirates in their Johannesburg Summit last August.
