奥巴马对埃塞俄比亚进行历史性访问

2015-07-28来源:VOA

President Barack Obama is spending all day meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart in that nation's capital on the first state visit by a US president to the East African powerhouse. Terrorism, development and human rights are sure to be raised in discussions between the two leaders.

President Barack Obama has a lot to talk about with his counterpart, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, as the two meet in Ethiopia's capital.

Terrorism tops the agenda, especially in light of a recent terror attack in the capital of neighboring Somalia.

Development is also high on the agenda. Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, has been rapidly expanding. And the economy of this country has been seeing double digit growth for the last few years.

But Mr. Obama has also warned that he will not mince words on things that are important to him, like human rights, a sore spot for Ethiopia as the regime has been accused of numerous abuses in recent years, including stifling of the press and harassment of dissidents.

These are all sure to make for interesting discussions on Mr. Obama's historic state visit to Ethiopia.
