China upgraded its relations with Ethiopia to an “all-weather” strategic partnership. The announcement came after Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s meeting with Xi Jinping. The upgrade comes as Ethiopia is slowly emerging from its civil war and recently joined the BRICS group.

The meeting also saw the signing of fourteen cooperation agreements covering agricultural development, green economy, urban development, infrastructure expansion and implementation of China’s Belt and Road Initiative.
