The meeting took place during the COP31 Leaders’ Summit, providing a platform for both leaders to explore potential Norwegian investments in Ethiopia’s renewable energy sector and collaborative efforts under Ethiopia’s Green Legacy Initiative.
The dialogue between the two nations also touched upon Norway’s potential support for Ethiopia’s presidency at the upcoming COP32 and broader efforts to fortify environmental partnerships. This cooperation aims to boost Ethiopia’s aspirations to attract international investment and strengthen global engagements in climate action.
