Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali outlined new avenues for collaboration across various sectors such as economy, technology, defence, healthcare, and education.

During their pivotal discussions, PM Modi announced plans to double the number of scholarships available for Ethiopian students seeking education in India. He also expressed gratitude for Ethiopia's support in combating terrorism.
