China backs Ethiopia’s efforts to get access to the sea

In an exclusive interview with Fana Digital, Ambassador of China to Ethiopia, Chen Hai, stated that his government fully supports Ethiopia’s peaceful efforts to get access to the sea.

“Ethiopia has a unique geopolitical position in the region, the Ambassador said, adding that the country is in a position to play a very important in connecting nations in the region and serving as a crucial gateway role to the African continent,” the Ambassador stressed.

We support the efforts by the Ethiopian government to facilitate the linkage of the land of the nation to the ocean and the sea. I believe that the effort made by the Ethiopian government could be fruitful and contribute more to the regional peace and stability, the Ambassador underscored.

Regarding Ethiopia’s membership to BRICS+, the Ambassador noted that, “I once again congratulate the government and the peoples of Ethiopia on nation’s official membership to the platform.” (FBC)
