Moscow: Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed underscored that Ethiopia has already taken concrete steps, with a roadmap developed in partnership with the Russian Federation to build nuclear infrastructure, train personnel, and strengthen regulatory frameworks.
According to Ethiopian News Agency, the international forum World Atomic Week, the largest event dedicated to the nuclear sector and related industries, commenced on Thursday in Moscow. The event, timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Russian nuclear industry, is being held at Moscow’s Exhibition of National Economy Achievements (VDNH).
Speaking at the opening of the event, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Ethiopia stands at the pivotal moment. “Our youths are vibrant, our cities are modernizing, our industries are growing and our economy is among the fastest rising in the world. But our ambitions are higher – ambitions that demand reliable, clean and scalable energy. Hydropower, solar and wind have carried us far. Yet alone, they cannot power the future we are building.”
