Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s Message on the Progress of the National Dialogue

I would like to thank all the commissioners who, over the past years, have patiently and professionally worked with a high standard of ethics to advance the national dialogue process and bring it to its current stage.

A culture of dialogue is extremely important for countries like Ethiopia. Building a strong civic culture also requires continuous practice of discussion and a mature spirit of mutual understanding. The process so far has demonstrated the great value of mutual listening at every level of our society. The process has reflected the views and discussion outcomes of more than 90 percent of Ethiopians across all corners of our country.

At this time, as the dialogue process, which carries significant national importance, transitions into its next phase aimed at producing tangible results, all stakeholders should contribute constructively and uphold a shared, firm commitment to ensuring peace, unity, and lasting stability for our country.
