A high-level Ethiopian military delegation held two days of talks at the Pentagon on August 19 and 20, with both sides agreeing to elevate their relationship into a comprehensive strategic defence partnership. The move follows Washington’s decision to end its Ethiopia-specific arms embargo and comes amid growing U.S. engagement in Ethiopia’s aerospace, nuclear and security sectors.
