Ethiopian premier calls on investors to make African their preferred destination

Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemaariam Desalegn on Friday called on investors across the world to make Africa their preferred investment destination.
Desalegn was speaking at an investment forum held on the sidelines of the 70th regular session of the UN General Assembly where six African countries, including Ethiopia showcased their experiences.

Leaders from the six countries which include Uganda, Liberia, Malawi, South Sudan and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), took part in the forum.

The premier said the continent is growing rapidly not only in terms of its economy, but also in human resource development.

He said activities are underway to make Africa conducive for investment, a peaceful, financially stable and corruption-free continent.

The other participating African leaders also briefed the participants on what they have been doing to attract investments into their countries and encourage the private sector.
