Strengthening the demonstration role of China-Ethiopia cooperation

近幾年，中埃合作成績斐然，在基礎設施、產業園區、教育合作、醫療救助、文化交流、旅游等領域都建立起創新合作模式。這些成績的背后，是“一帶一路”建設、埃塞俄比亞“五年計劃”等國家規劃層面的助推，也是高層互訪成果的見證。

2018年9月，中非合作論壇北京峰會前夕，中國國家主席習近平在人民大會堂會見埃塞俄比亞總理阿比。習近平指出，埃塞俄比亞是中國在非洲的重要合作伙伴，兩國關系定位已提升為全面戰略合作伙伴關系。中方支持埃方走適合本國國情的發展道路，贊賞埃方積極參與共建“一帶一路”，愿同埃方保持高層交往勢頭，全面深化各領域互利合作。

阿比也表示，中國是埃塞國家發展進程中可靠的朋友，中方一直以來的寶貴幫助對埃塞實現經濟轉型并取得今天這樣的經濟成就至關重要。埃塞珍視兩國間平等互利合作，愿學習中國治國理政經驗，致力于深化兩國關系，積極參與共建“一帶一路”，拓展雙邊交流合作，密切在國際事務中協調。

早在2014年，中國國務院總理李克強便將埃塞俄比亞作為任內首次非洲之行的首站，訪問期間，李克強表示，發展基礎設施和推動對外開放是發展中國家實現經濟起飛的兩個“輪子”，中國愿同埃塞俄比亞鞏固傳統友誼，全面拓展和深化鐵路、公路等基礎設施建設和制造業合作，加強金融、工業園合作，推動兩國友好合作關系邁上新臺階。

期間，李克強總理與時任埃塞俄比亞總理海爾馬里亞姆共同出席亞的斯亞貝巴一阿達瑪高速公路一期竣工揭牌典禮，為二期工程開工奠基剪彩，并參觀了由中國企業投資興建的中埃經貿合作東方工業園，為項目的落地落實添磚加瓦。

無獨有偶，2019年1月，中國國務委員兼外交部長王毅非洲之行首站也選擇了埃塞俄比亞。1月3日，埃塞俄比亞新當選的總統薩赫勒一沃克在亞的斯亞貝巴總統府會見王毅外長。

薩赫勒一沃克表示，埃中關系的廣度和深度令人印象深刻。埃塞政府和社會各界均致力于進一步加強對華合作，期待未來兩國關系更加強勁有力，埃塞將繼續積極支持和參與“一帶一路”合作。

王毅則強調，中國和埃塞的振興都是發展中國家力量的增強，都是維護世界和平穩定力量的增長，在埃塞國家發展和民族振興過程中，中方愿繼續做埃塞的長期和可信賴合作伙伴。王毅還表示，期待中埃全面戰略合作伙伴關系，在新形勢下繼續走在中非關系前列，發揮示范作用。
