Mous covers a wide range of fields including trade and investment, science and technology, agriculture, energy and mining, health and medicine, academia, space science, culture and sports.
The agreement was formalized at the 5th Ethio-Algeria Joint Committee Meeting in Addis Ababa, with Ethiopia’s Foreign Minister, Gedion Timothewos, Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmedatav, and other high-level officials and diplomats from both countries.
