Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made history today by addressing Ethiopia's parliament during his first official visit to the country – a rare honor signaling strengthened bilateral relations. 🌍 The moment marked a new chapter in South-South cooperation as both nations agreed to upgrade their partnership to a strategic level.
Lawmakers erupted in applause as Modi emphasized three key pillars: tech-driven development, inclusive growth, and peacekeeping collaboration. 'We're building bridges between ancient wisdom and 21st-century aspirations,' Modi declared, announcing a doubling of scholarships for Ethiopian students in India. 📚✨
The visit comes as both BRICS members explore:
Defense technology transfers
Agricultural innovation programs
Digital infrastructure partnerships
Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed praised the 'equal partnership' focused on practical solutions rather than 'empty promises.' With Modi heading to Oman next, analysts say this Africa-Asia diplomacy could reshape emerging markets in 2026.
