Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is navigating a complex diplomatic strategy characterized by the cultivation of diverse international partnerships. The government in Addis Ababa is currently pursuing a policy of transversal alliances, seeking to maintain simultaneous engagement with Western nations, China, and various countries in the Gulf region.
