Ethiopia has assured its support for Fiji’s presidency of the 23rd Session of Conference of Parties ( COP 23 ) in Bonn, Germany this year.
Special Adviser to the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made this commitment at a meeting with Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama.
Bainimarama says with an established Fiji mission in Addis Ababa, the country was committed to strengthening bilateral relations with Ethiopia.
He said Fiji acknowledged the important role Ethiopia played in Africa and internationally as well.
Also discussed at length was the threat of climate change and the vulnerability of Pacific Small Island Developing States.
Fiji and Ethiopia established diplomatic relations in January, 2011.
