On 21 February 2023, Ethiopia and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) to boost investment and economic cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Ahmed Shide, Minister of Finance of Ethiopia, and Mr Li Fei, Deputy Minister of Commerce of China, signed the document in Beijing. Minister Shide is leading a high-level delegation to China for an official visit with a view to promote trade and investment between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the signing ceremony, Minister Shide highlighted that China is the top trade and investment partner of Ethiopia. Chinese enterprises have invested significantly in Ethiopia in diverse sectors, including #SEZ<\/a>, automobile, textile, shoes, to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the trade side, the new preferential trade policy means that 98% of Ethiopian goods will enjoy zero-tariff treatment when entering the Chinese market as of the 1st of March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side, the Deputy Minister Li underscored that the JWG reflects the commitment of China at the last #FOCAC<\/a> Summit, where the Nine-Point Program was put forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
