TheWkly Analysis

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia and President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan oversaw the signing of the Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Defense following bilateral talks at the Zagulba Presidential Residence. The Ethiopian Prime Minister and his high-level delegation are on an official working visit to Azerbaijan since February 26, 2026. They exchanged several memoranda of understanding (MOUs) covering cooperation on the organization of the Thirty-Second Session of the United Nations Climate Conference (COP32 (Conference of the Parties, the UN's annual climate summit)). Additional MOUs address cooperation in agriculture, media development and experience sharing with Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation, investment promotion, and cooperation on anti-corruption initiatives. The parties also agreed on a cooperation program between ASAN Service (Azerbaijan's public service agency) and Ethiopia’s MESOB services (Ethiopia's one-stop service centers). The Office of the Prime Minister of Ethiopia stated the agreements advance cooperation between the two nations.
