Visit to Ethiopia - Nov 2025
2 December 2025
Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong visited Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 23 to 25 November 2025 at the invitation of the Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, Dr Abiy Ahmed Ali.
Both PM Wong and PM Abiy had fruitful discussions on strengthening cooperation and opening new opportunities for businesses in both countries.
They also witnessed the exchange of memoranda of understanding (MOUs) on skills development and carbon credits, which are key areas where the two countries’ interests align.
Prime Minister Abiy welcomed Singapore’s decision to open a new embassy in Addis Ababa. This represents a significant milestone, serving as a vital link not only to Ethiopia but also to the African Union and the wider continent.
By deepening partnerships between Singapore and Ethiopia, the two countries are building a bridge between Southeast Asia and Africa that will benefit their peoples for years to come.
