“Thank you, President Yoon Suk-yeol, for receiving us today. Our countries share more than six decades of history,” Ahmed wrote on his X account.
He also expressed confidence that Addis Ababa and Seoul would work together to enhance their partnership.
Earlier, Ahmed and his accompanying ministerial delegation laid a wreath at the monument of Ethiopian veterans in the Korean War (1950-1953) and briefly toured the Memorial Hall, which honors the Ethiopian Kagnew Battalion, which fought alongside South Korean forces, and aims to strengthen historic ties.
