Dawano Kedir, Deputy Head of Mission at the Ethiopian Embassy to China, has extended a warm invitation to Chinese tourists to visit Ethiopia’s vibrant capital, Addis Ababa, in 2024. In a recent interview with CGTN reporter Shen Shiwei, Kedir emphasized the unique attractions that Ethiopia offers, encouraging travelers to experience the country’s rich culture, historical sites, and breathtaking landscapes.
“I invite Chinese to visit the very beautiful Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2024, and many Ethiopians to visit the very nice and beautiful China,” said Kedir. His remarks highlight the growing ties between Ethiopia and China and the mutual interest in cultural exchange and tourism.
Ethiopia, often referred to as the cradle of humanity, boasts a myriad of attractions for adventurous travelers. From the ancient rock-hewn churches of Lalibela to the dramatic peaks of the Simien Mountains, the country offers a diverse range of experiences. Coffee enthusiasts can explore the birthplace of coffee, indulging in traditional coffee ceremonies and visiting plantations. Additionally, the Danakil Depression, one of the hottest places on Earth, features otherworldly landscapes with active volcanoes and salt flats.
Kedir’s invitation comes at a time when global travel is gradually resuming, and there is a renewed interest in exploring new destinations. Chinese tourists, known for their enthusiasm for cultural exploration, may find Ethiopia’s blend of history, culture, and natural beauty particularly appealing.
The Ethiopian Embassy in China is committed to facilitating easier travel arrangements and fostering closer ties between the two nations. By promoting tourism, both countries aim to enhance mutual understanding and strengthen their long-standing relationship.
