美国政府很荣幸能搭档埃塞俄比亚政府、国际组织以及非政府组织，如国际红十字会，共同支援埃塞俄比亚，这个如今在非洲难民人口最多的国家。埃塞俄比亚在应对难民需要方面，可以算是核心成员，其重要性被突出强调出来，具体表现为，埃塞俄比亚将作为7个联合主办国之一，参与奥巴马总统的难民领导人峰会，该峰会将于9月20日举行，第71届联合国大会也将于同期举行。

Massive numbers of refugees are embarking upon dangerous paths in search of safety;and millions more face long-term waits in first asylum countries,with limited, and in some cases, no access to lawful employment and education,while they wait for crises to end in their respective countries.In the lead up to the UNGA, Ethiopia, the United States, and other co-hosts,as well as other UN Member States that join this effort,will make concrete commitments to address these challenges.
大批难民正在危险的道路上前进，只为寻求一份平安；还有千百万人在第一庇护国面临长期的等待，他们只有有限的机会，或者有些时候根本没有机会被合法雇佣和接受教育，与此同时，他们也在等待着各自国家内的危机能尽快结束。为了迎接联合国大会，埃塞俄比亚、美国、其余联合主办国以及联合国成员国将共同努力，做出具体承诺，解决这些难题。
