Ethiopian government says it is committed to opening new opportunities to Kenyans to invest in the country.
Ethiopia was the first African country to establish diplomatic relations with Kenya in 1963.
The governments of Ethiopia and Kenya have reaffirmed their commitment to strategic utilization of Lamu Port as well as the advancement of joint initiatives in technology and green energy.
The two countries, which had called for deeper economic ties and increased investment between them during Ethiopia's New Year 2017 celebrations on Saturday in Nairobi, also reiterated a call for increased cooperation.
