At the 24th COMESA Summit of Heads of State and Government held today in Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme “Leveraging Digitalization to Deepen Regional Value Chains for Sustainable and Inclusive Growth,” I emphasized that digital transformation presents a unique opportunity to rewrite Africa’s economic story. As a continent, we possess the talent and digital foundations needed to connect national efforts and accelerate regional integration. In Ethiopia, we are making significant strides in developing digital talent and building the necessary infrastructure. Undoubtedly, we stand ready to collaborate in advancing our shared digital future.
