Dr. Abiy had previously attended President Ruto's inauguration in October 2022, but relations had appeared strained as the Ethiopian Prime Minister opted to send representatives to subsequent meetings in Nairobi. President Ruto's first foreign trip post-inauguration was to Addis Ababa, where he launched the Safaricom-Ethiopia telecommunications venture.
Initial Strain and Resolution:
Sources suggest that Dr. Abiy's initial cold stance was a form of protest after President Ruto announced that his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta, would mediate the Tigray conflict alongside other regional conflicts. However, diplomatic efforts were made to mend relations, with President Ruto ensuring open communication channels to address any misunderstandings.
Joint Ministerial Commission Meeting:
The recent state visit plans were solidified during a meeting under the Joint Ministerial Commission (JMC), the oldest bilateral organ between the two countries, established in 1963. Senior diplomats from both sides, including Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Ethiopia's Foreign Minister Taye Atske Selasie, revisited their ties, focusing on economic, social, security, and foreign relations cooperation.
Historical Ties and Cooperation:
Ethiopia and Kenya share historical ties dating back to the friendship between Jomo Kenyatta and Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie. The current visit aims to strengthen bilateral cooperation, particularly in addressing non-tariff barriers impeding the full use of the transport corridor between the two nations.
Security and Economic Undercurrents:
The state visit is marked by security and economic considerations, including Ethiopia's interest in accessing the sea. A recent diplomatic tiff between Ethiopia, Somaliland, and Somalia could potentially benefit Kenya, which seeks to attract users to Lamu Port.
Bilateral Cooperation Framework:
Ethiopia and Kenya are actively working to address non-tariff barriers, including irregular security and poor infrastructure. Last week, both countries concluded a strategic framework to promote cooperation in economic and social development, focusing on removing unnecessary checkpoints, harmonizing rules, and strengthening border posts.
Lamu Port and Diversification of Trade Routes:
Ethiopia's Minister of Transport and Logistics, Alemu Sime, confirmed plans to send its first shipments through Kenya's Lamu Port in an effort to diversify trade routes and reduce reliance on ports in Djibouti. This move is part of Ethiopia's broader strategy to secure alternative maritime gateways, providing a more stable and efficient route for trade.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's state visit to Nairobi underscores the commitment of Ethiopia and Kenya to strengthen their diplomatic, economic, and security ties. The ongoing efforts to address barriers and enhance cooperation bode well for the mutual benefit of both nations and the broader East African region.
