Telephone conversation with Prime Minister of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed

March 16, 2026

Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia Abiy Ahmed.

The leaders discussed a number of current issues pertaining to bilateral cooperation in the political, trade and economic, and humanitarian spheres in line with the agreements reached following Abiy Ahmed's visit to Moscow in September 2025. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to further strengthening the friendly Russia-Ethiopia relations and intensifying contacts between relevant ministries and agencies.

Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences over the cataclysmic landslides that hit southern Ethiopia last week, resulting in numerous casualties and heavy damage.
