Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) has great potential to contribute to the region’s peace and security, not only to Ethiopia, reiterated Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The ENDF is built with the custom of sacrificing for the sovereignty of brother countries and for unity of human race.
The Premier, also Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Armed Forces, said the remarks Sunday morning as he addressed the gathering in honor of the members of the defense forces who paid the price for dignity and sovereignty of Ethiopia.
"Ethiopia is never known in history for touching others’ possessions; her culture is to disgrace and return back those who attempted to touch her from near or far," he said.
Ethiopia has been implementing principled cooperation and relations that focus on peace and stability with neighboring countries, he indicated, “For this, not a single shot has been fired with the neighboring countries in the last 6 years.”
The Prime Minister said, "The name Ethiopia is related to freedom, honor and excellence. We stand by all our brothers who need support and support them."
