The U.S. Embassy and @AAU_Official celebrated the 60th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy Library, a symbol of academic collaboration between our two countries. As Ambassador Massinga noted in his remarks, the United States remains committed to strengthening its engagement with Addis Ababa University and other institutions in the years ahead - including through a grant for partial renovation of this historic landmark building.

Happy birthday and congratulations to @flyethiopian on 80 years of excellence in aviation! The U.S. Embassy celebrates this milestone alongside Ethiopian Airlines, a strong partner of U.S.-based companies. Africa's biggest carrier is largely powered by @Boeing aircraft, which enable commerce across the continent and support more than 100,000 jobs at home in the United States. Beginning in 1945, American Company TWA partnered with the government of Ethiopia to help found Ethiopian Airlines. American aviator Col. John Charles Robinson laid the groundwork for the airline's training program in its early days. We wish Ethiopian Airlines continued success, growth, and many more years of bringing people together across the skies. #FlyEthiopian

Happy Ethiopian New Year! መልካም አዲስ ዓመት!

''We no longer see Africa as a continent in need of handouts, but as a capable commercial partner. “Trade, not aid,” a slogan we’ve seen thrown around for years, is now truly our policy for Africa. Because assistance involves a donor and a recipient, but commerce is an exchange between equals.'' - Troy Fitrell, Senior Bureau Official for African Affairs #USAfricaBusinessSummit #TradeNotAid #US_Africa #US_Ethiopia

The U.S. Embassy extends its warmest congratulations to Miss World Ethiopia, Hasset Dereje, on her remarkable achievement as First Runner-Up in the Miss World competition and for earning the distinction of being the highest-ranking contestant from Africa. Congratulations, Ethiopia!

At 30+ members strong, this is the largest Sub-Saraha African delegation to attend the #SelectUSASummit! We’re proud to welcome such dynamic business leaders from Ethiopia whose presence reflects Africa’s growing confidence in the United States as the world’s premier destination for foreign direct investment. From advanced tech to critical infrastructure, investing in the U.S. means gaining access to unmatched innovation, transparency, and opportunity. Yesterday, the delegation met with the Ethiopian Ambassador H.E. Binalf Andualem and the Deputy Director General of the Foreign Commercial Service Jim Golsen, underscoring our shared commitment to expanding economic ties and fostering new opportunities. Wishing the delegation a productive and successful time over the remainder of the Summit—and a return full of new connections, ideas, and ventures that strengthen both our economies. #FDI #InvestUSA #Prosperity #Ethiopia #UnitedStates
