QATAR PRAISES SECURITY IN HORN OF REGION
Qatar has lauded efforts of Ethiopia in maintaining peace in the Horn of Africa region
The applause from Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani was during a meeting with Ethiopian prime minister Hailemarian Desalegn.
The two leaders spoke on areas of strengthening security, investments and diplomatic ties. The Emir is said to have lauded Ethiopia as a strategic partner and one key to peace in the Horn of Africa region.
Desalegn is in Doha on an official visit reciprocating a similar one earlier this year by the Emir to Addis Ababa.
Ethiopian state outlet, ENA, reported that “Foreign Minister Dr. Workneh Gebeyehu and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman signed the agreement providing for waiver of visa requirements for holders of diplomatic and official passports.”
