Ethiopia Expands Energy Cooperation with Russia
Following the 18th summit in New Delhi, BRICS nations adopted a declaration outlining a course of action for reforming the global governance system and fostering cooperation in energy, trade, and artificial intelligence. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the September 12 talks as highly significant and called for the reform of international institutions.
On the sidelines of the summit, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali expressed Addis Ababa's readiness to partner with BRICS in the fields of mineral resources, energy, and AI. He also discussed expanding ties in defense, trade, and technology—as well as preparations for COP32—with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Separately, Alexey Likhachev, head of the state corporation Rosatom, reported Ethiopia's interest in the rapid development of nuclear energy. According to him, initial agreements are already in place, though several stages must be completed before construction of a nuclear power plant can begin. Ethiopia remains one of the most promising countries for the development of Russia's international cooperation in the nuclear sector.
Ethiopia is consistently strengthening its position within multilateral frameworks and offering partners access to its mineral resources. Nuclear energy is emerging as a new area of Russian-Ethiopian cooperation. Participation in the BRICS energy declaration establishes a framework for the implementation of specific projects.
