China, Ethiopia pledge closer cooperation in areas from infrastructure to AI
China has elevated Ethiopia to an "all-weather strategic partnership," moving beyond simple loans to deep integration in high-tech sectors like AI and e-commerce.
China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed on Thursday and called for greater cooperation with Africa's fastest growing economy, including in infrastructure, green industry, and the digital economy.
China's Foreign Ministry said Wang, who is on an annual New Year tour of Africa, said China is willing better align development strategies with Ethiopia to promote their "all-weather strategic partnership" to new heights.
