Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) has highlighted the economic and social impact of Friendship Park, revealing that the landmark project has generated nearly 1 billion Birr in revenue within just four years of operation while serving as a model for the future development of the nation's capital.

Developed under the Medemer Government framework, Friendship Park has established itself as a vibrant public hub where families, creators, and visitors converge.

Emphasizing that the facility's value extends far beyond its financial returns, the Prime Minister noted that the park serves as a vital sanctuary for community health, recreation, and social connection.

Prime Minister Abiy framed Friendship Park as the ultimate blueprint for Addis Ababa’s urban future, demonstrating the power of public spaces designed to create economic opportunities, generate lasting value, and, above all, belong to every citizen.
