Ethiopia and UK Reaffirm Strategic Partnership at IMF–World Bank Meetings in Bangkok The Ethiopian delegation met with Kirsty McNeill MP, the UK’s Minister for International Development and Africa, on the sidelines of the 2026 IMF–World Bank Group Annual Meetings. The discussions focused on recent economic developments, and the country’s priorities for sustaining macroeconomic stability and long-term growth. The meeting also provided an opportunity to exchange views on current regional and global developments.

Both sides expressed their commitment to maintaining constructive engagement and strengthening cooperation on areas of mutual interest.
