The United Arab Emirates will build an oil pipeline connecting Eritreaโs port city of Assab with Ethiopiaโs capital Addis Ababa, an Ethiopian state-affiliated broadcaster said on Friday.
Fana Broadcasting said the information was revealed during a meeting in Addis Ababa between Ethiopia Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Reem Al Hashimy, the UAEโs state minister for international cooperation.
It did not provide further details, but Abiyโs chief of staff, Fitsum Arega, told Reuters that the discussion with Hashimy was largely on investment in sectors including โindustries, agriculture, real estate, (the) oil pipeline, (and) resortsโ.
โMost are under study,โ Fitsum said in a message.
