The platform offered a deep dive into Ethiopia's mining potential, with detailed presentations for interested investors. Bekabil Lisanework, Head of Business Diplomacy at the Ethiopian Embassy in the UK, explained live on ETV news that the initiative is set to significantly boost the development of Ethiopia's natural assets.
