ADDIS ABABA, April 16 (BERNAMA-NNN-ERTA) -- Ethiopia has been working to strengthen existing economic ties among the nations of East Africa, according to the Foreign, Defence and Security Affairs Standing Committee of the House of People's Representatives, the lower chamber of the Ethiopian Parliament.
The Committee on Monday organised an experience-sharing forum with a visiting Ugandan parliamentary delegation. Addressing the forum, the Committee chairman, Tesfaye Nega, said the forum would contribute significantly towards strengthening existing economic ties between Ethiopia and Uganda.
He lauded Uganda's peacekeeping role in Somalia where it is contributing its troops to serve with the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM).
He said a memorandum of understanding (MoU) would be signed between Ethiopia and Uganda in the near future so as to reinforce co-operation between their parliaments.
The head of the Ugandan delegation expressed his country's keen interest to work closely with Ethiopia in strengthening regional economic linkages.
