This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway, Africa's first fully electrified cross-border railway line. 🌍✨ Launched as a flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, this \"friendship road\" has revolutionized travel between Ethiopia and Djibouti.
Travel time between the two nations has been significantly reduced, enhancing the convenience for locals and boosting economic activities. 🚆💨 The railway has not only facilitated smoother movement of goods and people but also strengthened regional connectivity, paving the way for future infrastructural developments in East Africa.
Recently, CGTN visited Ethiopia to explore this monumental project, capturing its impressive features and the positive moments it has brought to the communities it serves. 📸🤝 The success of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway stands as a testament to the power of international collaboration and the enduring spirit of progress.
As we celebrate five years of seamless connectivity and growth, the Addis Ababa-Djibouti Railway continues to inspire similar projects across the continent, driving Africa toward a more interconnected and prosperous future. 🚀🌟
