On Monday 18 July 2022, on the occasion of the handover of the Presidency of the European Union from France to the Czech Republic, Pavel Mikeš, Ambassador of the Czech Republic to Ethiopia donated several books by Czech authors written or translated into French to the Alliance Ethio-Française in Addis Ababa in the presence of Rémi Maréchaux, Ambassador of France to Ethiopia and to the African Union
The books donated included novels, biographies and stories, and among the authors we received works by Franz Kafka, Karel Čapec, and Milan Kundera.
French language is spoken worldwide but Francophonie goes beyond what you think… Ethiopia is an observing member of the Francophonie.
Czech authors’ contribution to French speaking literature will be accessible in Addis Ababa from now on.
