Following a private meeting with Abiy, Trudeau noted the promise of Ethiopia’s fast growing economy and said their meetings were a chance to take Canada and Ethiopia’s relationship to the next level. Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng, who is in Africa with a trade delegation of Canadian companies, wouldn’t say how long those negotiations could take or what the agreement could look like. Many times these agreements take several years to put in place.Canada and Ethiopia currently have a relatively small trading relationship — just $170 million in two-way trade in 2018.
Trudeau also revealed a $10-million contribution to the African Union Commission for gender equality and women’s empowerment. Trudeau is in Africa at the same time as the head of Norway, Prime Minister Erna Solberg. The two politely waved at each other across the room at the morning women’s empowerment breakfast and had a polite embrace in the evening prior to the blue economy discussion.

Canada’s interest will falter after the vote for the Security Council has been taken.
How can Trudeau expect them to spend their whole GDP entertaining and security for him to go there mansplaining women’s rights to already the strongest women in the world? He has a female deputy prime minister why wouldn’t he have sent her?
