HIS EXCELLENCY Teferi Melesse Desta has assumed his post as successor to the previous Ethiopian Ambassador to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Mr Fesseha Shawel Gebre. The ambassador and his family were afforded a warm welcome by Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office officials and diplomatic staff following their arrival into the UK recently. Ambassador Teferi begins his post in the UK at a time of great opportunity for Ethio-UK relations and has made it his mission to strengthen these engagements further as the UK moves into a future outside of the European Union. PartnersThe new ambassador Teferi said: “I am delighted to be the new Ethiopian Ambassador to the United Kingdom, one of Ethiopia’s most important partners and friends. “We have a long history of cooperation internationally and have consistently collaborated on issues including international peace and security, climate change and sustainable development.
