SINGAPORE – They may be 7,000km apart and vastly different in size, but Singapore and Ethiopia share deep, common bonds such as being multicultural societies and hubs of their respective regions, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Singapore and Ethiopia also share a determination to strengthen their bilateral relationship, and are exploring the possibility of cooperation in new areas such as transport, digitalisation and capacity-building, he added. Both leaders also witnessed the signing of a statement of intent between Singapore’s Ministry of Transport and Ethiopia’s Ministry of Transport and Logistics to further strengthen transport cooperation. He noted that Singapore and Ethiopia have something else in common – the lion as a national symbol. He added: “I wish Prime Minister Abiy a fruitful visit in Singapore and I look forward to commemorating many more milestones in our relations in the years to come.”
