Fana Media Corporation (FMC), a partner of TV BRICS.
Speaking at a high-level business roundtable in Addis Ababa, Vice Minister for Foreign Trade, Felipe Quintero Suarez, announced the reopening of Colombia’s diplomatic mission in Ethiopia and highlighted ongoing bilateral efforts around air services, visa facilitation, and trade and cultural cooperation.
The roundtable brought together senior government officials, private sector leaders, and institutional representatives from both countries. The Ethiopian delegation, led by State Minister of Trade and Regional Integration, Yasmin Wahabrebi, included representatives from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ethiopian Investment Commission, and the Ethiopian Chamber of Commerce. Colombia was represented by several officials from national trade organisations.
Wahabrebi welcomed Colombia’s interest, outlining Ethiopia’s extensive economic reforms, including the modernisation of trade policy and pursuit of World Trade Organization accession. She also highlighted Ethiopia’s active role in the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), underlining its readiness to serve as a commercial bridge between Latin America and Africa.
