Earlier today, Indian PM Narendra Modi got a rare standing ovation from lawmakers as he addressed a joint session of Ethiopia’s parliament. 🎉
During his first-ever visit to the East African nation, Modi tapped into themes that resonate with young leaders everywhere: trade & investment, inclusive development, accessible tech, and a push for global peace. 'It’s an honor to stand in this temple of democracy, a nation brewing ancient wisdom with modern dreams,' he said.
India and Ethiopia have now leveled up to a strategic partnership—think of it as upgrading a friendship to VIP status. This buddy-up means new energy, new impetus, and new depth in everything from business deals to defense projects. Plus, Modi just announced that scholarships for Ethiopian students heading to India are doubling. 🎓✌️
PM Abiy Ahmed highlighted that this collab is all about equality and South-South solidarity—focusing on sovereignty, self-reliance, and practical teamwork. 🇮🇳🤝🇪🇹
Behind the scenes, talks dived into strengthening economic ties, tech innovation swaps, and defense cooperation—perfect fuel for both nations’ growth journeys.
After wrapping up in Ethiopia, Modi’s off to Oman next. We’ll keep our eyes peeled for more updates on his Gulf leg! 🌍✨
