Saudi Arabian Ambassador to Ethiopia, Fahd bin Obaidullah Al-Humaidani (PhD), stated that Ethio-Saudi relations are witnessing remarkable progress and great coordination at the highest levels on regional and international issues.
The ambassador also told EBC that the Saudi-African summit, which was held last November, represented a historic turning point in relations between Africa and the Kingdom, and laid the foundations for a bright future of cooperation and strategic partnership.
“The first Saudi-African summit represented a milestone that established a promising future for cooperation between the Kingdom and countries,” he said.
The ambassador explained that Saudi-Ethiopian relations gained great momentum with Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed assuming power in 2018.
Amb. Fahd mentioned that the Kingdom and Ethiopia have shared interest to collaborating on multiple areas of mutual interest like maintaining security in the Horn of Africa region, combating terrorism and human trafficking.
