The decision to reinvigorate the joint ministerial commission dialogue in a more structured format is a significant step forward. The meeting is expected to take place soon, as confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
This latest development builds upon previous interactions between the two ministers, including their participation in the first Russia-Africa Cooperation Forum in Sochi, Russia, in 2019.

Diplomatic relations between Ethiopia and Algeria, established in the 1960s, have a long history rooted in mutual interests and solidarity.
