Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed noted that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov began to look younger.
" The Foreign Minister, Mr. Lavrov, recently visited Ethiopia. We have been seeing him for a long time, in 2019. And this time he has arrived, he looks younger", the Ethiopian prime minister joked at talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The meeting of the Russian leader with Abiy Ahmed took place within the framework of the BRICS summit in New Delhi. Putin noted the importance of developing Russia's relations with African states. The President also reported on the growth of trade and economic cooperation between the two countries. By the end of 2025, the trade turnover between Russia and Ethiopia has more than tripled and continues to grow.
Putin also noted the role of Ethiopia in the work of the BRICS. The country became a full member of the association on January 1, 2024 and has been actively participating in its activities since that moment.
