The nations to establish technical working groups that will oversee ongoing knowledge-sharing in these key sectors
Ethiopia and Zimbabwe have reinforced their commitment to economic collaboration, with a high-level meeting between Ethiopia’s Minister of Finance, Ahmed Shide, and Zimbabwe’s Minister of Finance, Economic Development, Professor M. Ncube. This is reported by Fana Media Corporation, a partner of TV BRICS.
The discussions, held in Addis Ababa, focused on knowledge-sharing and strategic partnerships to bolster economic resilience and sustainable development in both nations.
To formalise this collaboration, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe agreed to establish technical working groups that will oversee ongoing knowledge-sharing in these key sectors.
Zimbabwe expressed interest in Ethiopia’s economic policies, particularly in tax reform, social protection initiatives, and value chain development within the leather and agro-processing industries.
Ethiopia, in turn, recognised Zimbabwe’s expertise in the tourism sector, viewing it as an area where knowledge exchange could yield significant benefits.
Additionally, an inaugural experience-sharing visit by a Zimbabwean delegation to Ethiopia is set to take place in May 2025, marking the next step in strengthening bilateral ties.

So, we have an opportunity to lead by example. We have our development bank, which can demonstrate and develop new ways of financing programmes. We can reduce the risks for private capital to invest in restoration and efforts to combat desertification" -
