Singapore will establish an embassy in Addis Ababa, the first in East Africa and the third on the African continent, alongside Egypt and South Africa. The new embassy in Ethiopia's capital was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Monday (Nov 24) at a joint press conference with Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. Mr Wong, who is also the Finance Minister, is in Ethiopia from Nov 23 to 25 for his first bilateral visit to Africa. He said that the embassy would be a "tangible demonstration" of Singapore’s commitment to a partnership with Ethiopia, and belief in the country's strategic importance and potential. "Our embassy will also enable Singapore to strengthen our ties with Africa as a whole," Mr Wong said.   https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/ethiopia-east-africa-embassy-addis-ababa-carbon-credits-5487121 (ICE SINGAPORE)
