The UAE plans to build a pipeline connecting Eritrea to Ethiopia. The pipeline will run from Eritrea’s port city of Assab to Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa.
Chinese firm Poly GCL began extracting crude oil on a test basis from reserves in Ethiopia’s southeast in June and will need access through Eritrea to the coast in order to export it.
Ethiopian broadcaster Fana first reported the pipeline plan earlier following a meeting in Addis Ababa between Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Reem Al Hashimy, the UAE’s minister of state for international cooperation.
The UAE played a behind-the-scenes role in helping Ethiopia and Eritrea end a two-decade state of war last month, Reuters reported this week.
