The
Special Envoy, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal
Democratic Republic of Ethiopia to the US, addressed over seventy Ethiopians
and Ethiopian-Americans at the conference hall in the premises of the
Chancery.
Briefing the participants in his introductory remark, Ambassador Girma Birru
said that the primary focus of his mission during his tenure in office as Ethiopia's
Special Envoy to America is to further strengthen the existing Ethio-US partnership
in all areas of endeavor and to consistently and continually strive hand in hand
with the Ethiopian Diaspora community.
The Ambassador further elucidated that gainfully engaging and calibrating on
the Ethiopian Diaspora community will spur an ensuing impact that benefits the
members of the Diaspora in particular and the country at large.
He underlined the fact that Ethiopia is currently undertaking a deep-going and
an all-encompassing Growth and Transformation drive that begs for the concerted
and proactive channeling by the Ethiopian Diaspora, of the resources, skills,
knowledge, expertise, experience, profession and networking competencies and
capabilities through their spirited and active participation.
Ambassador Girma Birru, used the propitious occasion to highlight the measures
taken by the Ethiopian government at home to steadily arrest the galloping rate
of inflation through price capping mechanism and ultimately ensure the unhampered
progress and development of the free market system currently in full swing in
Ethiopia by encouraging all legitimate actors in the economy to responsibly play
by the rule of the game subscribing to the law of the land.
During the function participants of the forum introduced themselves and their
respective constituencies and finally pledged to work in close partnership with
the Embassy towards promoting the positive image and bolstering the interest
of Ethiopia.
