Americas Africa Relation in Ethiopia

  • Great Trade Expectations Behind U.S.-Ethiopia Trade Relations

    ETHIOPIA, 2015/07/29 In 1903, the United States and one of the world's oldest nations, Ethiopia, established a relationship. Emperor Menelik II described the day as "... beginnings of a relationship which will have some place in history", as quoted in a paper presented by Professor Negussay Ayele of Cornell University, to mark the 100th anniversary of that occasion. The historic relationship is, in this week, to witness a rare event with the initial visit of a sitting president of the United States paying a visit to Ethiopia. President Barack Hussein Obama's visit to Ethiopia follows what happens to be his initial visit as President, to his father's homeland, Kenya.
