NAIROBI, Kenya
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Wednesday he wanted to resolve problems facing both his country and Kenya in order to elevate the economic standard of both countries.
Speaking at a luncheon hosted
by Kenyan President William Ruto in Nairobi, Ahmed added that their bilateral
ties were a role model that would work to "liberate Africa not only
politically but also economically."
Ruto welcomed Ahmed to Nairobi
on Wednesday, where the leaders discussed Ethiopia’s negotiations with the
breakaway region of Somaliland to secure access to a seaport.
Ethiopia signed a memorandum
of understanding with Somaliland on Jan. 1.
The document has rattled
Somalia, which said it's prepared to go to war over it because it considers
Somaliland part of its territory.
Somaliland says Ethiopia
agreed to recognise its independence in return for a naval port.
