Ethiopia: Government seeks China's support on hydropower

Ethiopian President Girma Woldegiorgis said Ethiopia seeks the support of the Chinese government in its efforts to utilize the huge hydropower potential in the country. Girma made the remark while holding talks with Zhang Mao, deputy mayor of Beijing, the capital city of China, at the National Palace, the country's presidential office. Girma said the support of China would be instrumental to enable Ethiopia to tap its huge hydro-electric power potential. He said the cooperation between the sisterly cities of Addis Ababa and Beijing would contribute for an exchange of experience, especially in the areas of urban administration.
