(Sept 24, 2012 Washington, DC)--The United States warmly welcomes Ethiopia’s
selection of Hailemariam Desalegn as the country’s new Prime Minister
and Demeke Mekonnen as the new Deputy Prime Minister. We commend the
Government of Ethiopia for undertaking an historic, peaceful, and
constitutional transition of power.
We have had a productive relationship with Mr. Hailemariam in his capacity as Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister. We look forward to working with him in his new position to advance issues of mutual concern to the United States and Ethiopia, including strengthening economic development, advancing democracy and human rights, and promoting regional security.
