The permanent secretary on the occasion appreciated the government of Ethiopia for its commendable leadership role in the region, particularly on migration issues.
He said his country had a keen interest to build relationships with Ethiopia on migration issues as Ethiopia is hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Dr. Tedros welcomed UK’s support for Ethiopia and underscored the importance of deepening operational partnerships on migration as well as other technical and development endeavors.
Currently, Ethiopia is hosting more than 800, 000 refugees. It is a source, transit and destination for migrants.
“As a transit to migrants, Ethiopia is working to track and dismantle the highly sophisticated network of illicit human traffickers and closely working with neighboring countries to this effect,” Tedros said
