Speech of The Day (24): On Visits – China, Iran, Somalia

On Visits – China, Iran, Somalia

“ … At the end of Our visit to China, We went to the Empire of Iran, at the invitation of the Shahanshah, to attend the 2,500^th Anniversary of the founding of the Persian Empire by Cyrus the Great.

…

The 2,5000^th Anniversary celebrations of the Persian Empire showed relevance and similarities with the Ethiopian recorded history which dates back 3,000 years.

…

Ethiopia is desirous of maintaining friendly relations with all and wishes to live in peace. This is her known policy which she wishes to abide by.

…

We have done all We can to promote world peace. We will not spare any effort to this end in the future, and God willing, will work for the cause of African unity and for the liberation of our brethren still under colonial rule.

…

We have made it clear that misunderstanding between Heads of State can be detrimental to the interests of their respective peoples.

…

We believe that consultations and exchange of views among Heads of State will lead to fruitful results.

            This was Our main goal when We visited the three countries and We believe the outcome of those visits will benefit Our people. We say this because it concerns the entire nation and the public should be informed about it.

            May the Almighty help Us in Our endeavours which are directed towards the welfare of Our people.
