PM Office outlines April gains in int’l ties, public services, and peacebuilding

Addis Ababa, May 1, 2025 (FMC) — The Office of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia has outlined key activities and achievements recorded in April 2025, including developments in regional stability, economic reform, infrastructure, and international cooperation.

At the forefront was the peaceful and orderly transfer of power in Ethiopia’s Tigray region—facilitated by the federal government after extensive consultations. The transition was hailed as a critical step toward regional stability and continuity.

April also marked a key moment in Ethiopia’s economic reform agenda, with the launch of the Council of Ministers’ nine-month performance review for the fiscal year 2017 E.C.

The report showed promising growth in savings and investment, aligning with broader macroeconomic goals.

Concurrently, the Prosperity Party Executive Committee convened to address national priorities and internal policy directions.
National security remained a top concern as the National Security Council met to assess evolving dynamics across national, regional, and global spheres.

On the global stage, Prime Minister Abiy’s official visit to Vietnam strengthened diplomatic ties and economic cooperation. The trip culminated in the signing of agreements on trade, education, and civil aviation—laying the groundwork for direct air connectivity between Addis Ababa and Hanoi.

Ethiopia also received the symbolic torch to host the fifth P4G Summit in 2027, spotlighting the country’s growing role in global sustainable development efforts.

Infrastructure and service delivery also took center stage domestically, the PM Office said, noting that the Prime Minister launched the Kasanchis corridor development project, inaugurated the digitally integrated Mesob One-Stop Service Center, and unveiled upgrades along the Bulbula-Akaka Bridge stretch, including the new Bulbula Park.

Capping off the month, Prime Minister Abiy celebrated Easter with vulnerable communities, reaffirming a commitment to compassion and inclusivity.
