Ethiopia and South Africa deepen cooperation through BRICS partnership

Ethiopia and South Africa are advancing their bilateral relationship through strategic collaboration within the BRICS framework. The Ethiopia-South Africa Business Council recently convened an online meeting, fostering dialogue on shared opportunities and best practices to strengthen economic and social ties.

Since joining the BRICS group, Ethiopia has been proactively engaging with fellow member states, focusing on enhancing partnerships between private enterprises and development organisations, as reported by Fana Media Corporation (FMC), a partner of TV BRICS. 

The meeting underscored the pivotal role of collaboration within the BRICS framework in addressing shared economic and developmental goals.

To leverage the opportunities presented by BRICS membership, Ethiopia has established its own BRICS Business Council. This council exchanges insights and strategies with its counterparts across member nations, aligning efforts to boost trade and economic relations with South Africa.

The Ethiopian Embassy in Pretoria hailed the virtual meeting as a crucial milestone in fostering economic cooperation between the two nations. Plans are underway for future discussions at the management board level, signalling a continued commitment to mutual growth and collaboration.
