This is a major undertaking in which the business communities of our two countries are also actively participating. The launch of the Mattei Plan for Africa\u2014based on mutual understanding and a partnership approach, and which sees Ethiopia among our most dynamic and important partners\u2014is also opening up new opportunities for growth and development. This is a further drive for strengthening our relations.<\/p>\n<p>Under my mandate, the Embassy will be committed, together with the entire Italian national system, to strengthening our presence in Ethiopia and to being a point of reference for our community, businesses, institutions, as well for the Ethiopian partners interested in promoting the prosperity and security of our two Countries.<\/p>\n<p>This website represents an initial point of contact for exploring the richness and depth of the Italian-Ethiopian partnership.<\/p>\n<p>I therefore invite you to consult it, along with our social media profiles on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to stay updated on the activities and services offered by the Embassy, \u200b\u200band to share your ideas and suggestions for improving our work.<\/p>\n<p>A warm thank you to those who already follow us and an equally sincere welcome to those, I hope many, who decide to tune in to these channels.<\/p>\n<p><em>Selam<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p>Sem Fabrizi<\/p>\n<p><!--\n<em>Dear compatriots and friends of Italy, I would like to welcome you to the website of the Italian Embassy in Addis Ababa.<\/em>\n\n<em>This website, developed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, aims to inform the public about the structure of the Embassy and the staff working there, so that everyone can quickly find the information or contacts they need. The website also allows users to follow our institutional, cultural, economic and commercial activities in Ethiopia, Djibouti and South Sudan through links to our digital platforms.<\/em>\n\n<em>Italy has been present in the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia for a long time and has excellent bilateral relations with the country that was the first to establish diplomatic relations with Ethiopia. The Embassy, which is located in Addis Ababa - a fundamental crossroads not only for East Africa but for the entire African continent - together with the many Italian companies present in Ethiopia (but also for Djibouti and South Sudan), is constantly committed to consolidating and strengthening, also through innovative methods, a natural and mutually beneficial partnership, as well as to providing assistance to our compatriots in the forms required by these changing times. This commitment is made in the spirit of bringing peoples closer together, so that we can all take a step forward towards a future of shared prosperity and sustainable development, by enhancing our strengths in the fields of economy, development cooperation and culture, as well as through the presence of the \"Galileo Galilei\" State School, the largest Italian public school abroad in the world. The achievement of these objectives will be a daily mission for me and for the entire Embassy, but I also hope to be able to count on the contribution of the many Italian citizens living here, who represent a fundamental pillar of the historical continuity of the bond between Italy and Ethiopia, and who will want to and know how to give.<\/em>\n\n<em>The website offers a first opportunity for contact, but I also invite you to visit the Embassy's Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages: I hope they will be useful to you, just as any suggestions and insights you would like to share are very important to me and my staff, so please do not hesitate to contact us.<\/em>\n\n<em>Enjoy your browsing, everyone,<\/em>\n\n<em>Ambassador of Italy, Agostino Palese.<\/em>\n--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dearest compatriots, dear Ethiopian friends, and kind visitors to this website, Today I enthusiastically assume the role of Italian Ambassador to the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, a friendly country with which we are bound by a deep and sincere friendship, now at the center of the Mattei Plan.
