This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talks with African Union Special Envoy on Youth Aya Chebbi as he attends an African Union high level breakfast meeting on gender equality and women's empowerment in Africa in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020.

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.

Blocking safe transport of oil by pipelines has directly caused this. Never forget American oil incinerated LacMegantic... ironic given Obamas political pointed obstruction of 'safe' pipelines. Cdn media has barely mentioned that, but still seems to focus on 'negative' pipelines

Patience and a plan

Awareness

JustinTrudeau forgot his costume

Terrible. Justin should be tried for treason. The worst prime minister to ever be in office

And that my friend is the sound of all my money moving to America.

Did Trudeau get ok from China? Before anyone starts at me, China is a major player in Ethiopia. They don't like anyone messing around their turf.

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?

Investment agreement Which way!? This should be interesting

See the lady in orange... She knows.

And who is going to foot the bill for this deal

Two Super influential Global Powerhouses!!!

They just send Trudeau out to charm people ...that’s his role now.

Let's invest in Canada rather than Africa JustinTrudeau

We need to be in Africa.

Why?
